<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Background: Cardiac disorders with Unstable Haemodynamics often require intensive care in the intensive care unit (ICU) for monitoring and advanced medical interventions. The length of hospitalisation and prognosis of patients in the ICU are important indicators in evaluating the efficiency of health services. Methods: The design of this study was descriptive analytic with a retrospective approach, using medical record data of cardiac patients admitted to the ICU of Hermina Ciruas Hospital from January 2024 to December 2024, there were 138 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Data obtained included age, gender, comorbidities, disease diagnoses, average length of stay, mortality rates. Data were described in tabular form. Results: Of 138 cardiac patients in the ICU of Hermina Ciruas Hospital, it was found that the age group < 65 years was the largest number of respondents (81.2%), males dominated around 62.3% of the total patients. The most common medical diagnosis was ischaemic heart disease, which was around 68.8% with comorbidities of hypertension as much as 62.3% followed by diabetes mellitus 27.54%. and the results of the chi-square independence test informed that there was a significant association between the scoring/classification of the severity of heart disease and the length of stay in the ICU (p = <.001). Conclusion: The severity of heart disease affects the length of ICU stay. Keywords: Length of stay, Severity level of heart disease, Intensive care Unit]]>
