In general, some people take a year to work as a hospitalist whether that is internal medicine or cardiac/CCU. Others do a non-ACGME accredited cardiology-related fellowship like imaging or advanced heart failure. Some do research.
Yes, some people have matched into cardiology from that program specifically. If I were you, I would ask them during the interview/application process their success rates or what graduates do after completing that fellowship.
