Abstract

Coronary care units have grown from infancy to maturity in the last 20 years. Major advances have been made in the care of patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction. The first and most important development was in monitoring each patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) for potentially fatal rhythm disturbances. This article reviews the continuously evolving concepts, demands and technology behind such monitoring–an evolution which has far from ended.
