Cardiac Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Heart Disease is the Leading Cause of Death in Americans

Thousands of people needlessly suffer, and even die, from complications due to heart conditions because of physician, hospital or paramedic errors. Medical malpractice can occur when a doctor acts negligently and a patient is seriously harmed as a result. Improper treatment, wrong medication, wrong dosage, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment or the wrong surgical technique can lead to serious consequences.

Failure to Diagnosis and Treat Heart Conditions Will Lead to Health Risks

The treatment of patients with serious heart conditions and cardiac problems is crucial. Medical accuracy and thorough knowledge of cardiac procedures, medications, and surgical options is necessary for patients to receive proper care.

A medical professional's mistake can result in heart attacks, strokes, and even sudden cardiac death. Such a circumstance is considered medical malpractice.

Cases of Cardiac Negligence

Without an appropriate diagnosis and plan of treatment, serious symptoms of certain heart conditions may develop and lead to dire consequences. If a medical professional fails to meet the standard of care in order to properly treat a patient and leaves such conditions untreated, stroke, heart attack, or even death may occur as a result.

The following are some heart conditions that are frequently the cause of medical malpractice due to the negligence of medical professionals where they misdiagnose, fail to diagnose, fail to properly treat, use poor medical judgment, or botch a procedure that can potentially lead to serious injury or death:

Coronary Artery Stents
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
Congestive Heart Failure
Missed Aortic Dissections
Arrhythmias
Coumadin Treatment
Valvular Heart Disease

Heart attacks in both men and women account for hundreds of thousands of emergency room visits and deaths annually. A qualified and seasoned physician who knows the history of a particular patient can provide education on the signs and symptoms of a heart attack related to that individual, and any number of medical websites will list general signs of an oncoming heart attack. But, if the symptoms seem so “clear” why are heart attacks easily misdiagnosed?
