The Advanced Heart Failure ICU is a 10 bed specialty care unit that cares for the adult patient population experiencing heart failure. Most of the patients have a chronic heart failure condition that are being treated with aggressive intravenous inotropes, vasopressors, and diuretics. Many of the patients in the Advanced Heart Failure ICU are hemodynamically monitored, may require mechanical ventilation, intra-aortic balloon pump therapy, ventricular assist devices, or may be waiting for a heart transplant.
