Failure to Diagnose Heart Disease
If a doctor committed an error or act of negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, long-term care, pain and suffering, monthly expenses and lost wages. In wrongful death claims, we may also seek compensation for funeral expenses and loss of companionship.
We represent people injured by misdiagnoses, failure to diagnose and failure to treat conditions such as:
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart attack/myocardial infarction
- Idiopathic cardiomyopathy
- Congenital heart disease
- Chronic heart failure
- Valvular heart disease
- Arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation
- Hypertension/high blood pressure
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Stroke
With heart diseases, a timely diagnoses and prevention may have prevented the illness or death. The physician's failure to diagnose may have occurred in a clinic or in the emergency room. Typical negligence in these cases includes ignoring risk factors, failure to order medical tests, misreading test results or symptoms, and not following up on test results. In cardiology, this may be a failure to read chest X-rays, electrocardiographs and electrocardiograms (ECG or EKG), exercise tolerance tests (ETT) and exercise Doppler test reports.
