Here in Canada we have CCU-Critical cardiac unit and then once they stabilize they go to the cardiac unit upstairs. But I think the telemetry unit would be where they can monitor his heart, which would be the same as our cardiac unit. I am glad your T's husband is doing better though and has stabilized.

You are correct. In the telemetry unit, they have the ability to more closely monitor the heart once the patient has stabilized. Guess the terminology is a Yank thing.
