Our section current includes 6 faculty dual-boarded in critical care and cardiology. Some of those faculty are also interventional cardiologists, heart failure cardiologists, or echocardiographers. We provide patient care in both our cardiology intensive care unit (CICU) and our cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU). Our resuscitation ECMO program is the largest in the world with nearly 200 ECPR cases last year alone and nearly 350 VA ECMO patients last year overall, all cared for by our team in the CICU. We also provide care for patients requiring intensive care with cardiogenic shock, high-risk PE, electrophysiological issues, and adults with congenital heart disease. We co-manage the advanced heart failure patients with our heart failure colleagues, and we co-manage many post-operative cardiac surgical patients with our cardiothoracic surgical colleagues. We enjoy multi-disciplinary work combining our team of dedicated faculty, specialized cardiology critical care advance practice providers, and cardiology fellows with bedside care provided by our dedicated cardiac ICU nurses, ECMO specialists, and respiratory therapists. Our faculty are also encouraged to pursue research and education-related interests with many opportunities available.
