Many hospitals contain both a CCU for critically ill patients and units called either an "intermediate care unit", "progressive care unit", "telemetry floor" or<unk> " for patients who are not as crtically ill. These units provide a level of care that is intermediate to that of the intensive care unit and that of the general medical floor. These units typically serve patients who require cardiac telemetry such as those with unstable angina.
An increasing number of lower risk STEMI patients are now being initially admitted to an intermediate care unit.  This is particularly true of patients undergoing primary angioplasty.  Those patients who are stable for the first 12 to 24 hours in the CCU are now being transferred to an intermediate care unit. In addition, patients originally admitted.
