Edmund The cardiac intensive care unit and the cardiac Intensivist during the COVID-19 surge in New York City() 2020-07-03 .txt text/plain 4209 228 44 Herein we discuss the evolving role of the cardiac intensivist and changes to the CICU in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic and provide recommendations based on our own experiences at NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Timing of Lab Testing and Diagnostic Studies: As typical of critically ill patients, patients in an intensive care setting with COVID-19 will require frequent testing as part of their clinical assessment and management.
