The outpatient clinics, the emergency room and a larger patient’s room (where mostly ambulatory patients are located) are on the third floor (because of the location of the building this is the street level from Ga\u00e1l J. street).

The principal department of patient care at the Clinic. The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit is part of the 27 beds of the Invasive Cardiology Department, where patients with acute myocardial infarction or other life-threatening cardiac diseases are treated. Its main role is in the observation and treatment of acutely admitted patients frequently in severe conditions. All of the beds of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit are equipped with a central and bedside monitor with adequate space and infrastructure for the use of a ventillator or an IABP. For bedbound patients with long-lasting care, antidecubitus mattresses are available at any bed. The department has a single bed room where intensive care and isolation are also possible. On the other 12 beds of the Invasive Cardiology Department mainly patients are observed and treated after an invasive catheterization or electrophysiologic procedure. Blood tests are taken, ECG is done and patients are examined in the outpatient rooms and in the department.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/varosmajor\/files\/2020\/12\/21-152x229-1.jpg\")
The Cardiology department is a traditional cardiology department, where patients are treated after interventions which allow for a short hospital stay. Such an intervention can be for example a pacemaker implantation, electrophysiologic study and diagnostic coronarography. Nevertheless, classical medical treatment of patients with heart disease is also among the roles of this department. This department has a very high patient load, therefore we ask for the patience of our patients.<\/p>\n
