Summary:“The development of the coronary care unit (CCU) represents one of the most significant advances in the practice of hospital medicine in the past decade.” Working with John Kimball, a fellow cardiologist at what is now Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, NY, USA, Killip had organised a 2-year study of 250 patients admitted to New York Hospital to be managed in a specially equipped and staffed unit of his design.
