Heart Attack Misdiagnosis Attorneys

HELPING BAY AREA RESIDENTS WITH INJURIES FROM MISDIAGNOSED HEART ATTACKS

Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the United States today. About one in every five deaths occurs because of a heart attack. Sadly, many happen because of a misdiagnosis by a doctor or other health care professional — particularly in emergency room settings. Many physicians fail to fully examine a patient suffering from symptoms such as chest pain, upper body pain (especially in one or both arms), shortness of breath or extreme fatigue and instead diagnose them with heartburn or reflux and prescribe over-the-counter medication.

Tests like electrocardiograms (EKG), blood tests, angiograms, echocardiograms, CT scans and Thallium Stress Tests are available to access a patient’s risk. In more serious cases, emergency bypass surgery is necessary to save a patient’s life. If you or a loved one suffered a heart attack after a visit with a physician, you may have a claim for medical malpractice.
