Come join our 20 bed Cardiac Step-down Unit located in the new Marcus Tower at Piedmont Atlanta!   

Our patient population consists of pre and post cardiac intervention care (cardiac cath, stents, ablations, TAVR), pre-open heart surgery patients, heart failure patients, arrhythmia management with cardiac drips, and loading dose of oral anti-arrhythmic medications. The Cardiac Step-down also works very close with the CCU and is able to admit patients that require step-down level of care. Some additional skills would include PD and LVAD training. Acuity: High; frequent monitoring required to prevent post-procedural complications, and/or to stabilize and transfer to next level of care; high patient turnover and fast paced.
