Ohio Heart Disease Misdiagnosis Attorneys
A common scenario of misdiagnosis of heart disease is a patient going to an emergency room with chest pain, sweating, shortness of breath and other symptoms associated with heart disease. Instead of testing the patient thoroughly for heart-related problems, the doctor identifies indigestion, acid reflux or another relatively innocuous problem as the cause of the symptoms. The patient is left with the true problem untreated and often falls victim to heart attack, stroke and even death.
Misdiagnosis of heart disease is more common when patients do not fit the typical profile of a heart disease victim. If a patient is young and fit, or a woman, for instance, doctors may overlook heart disease, thereby wasting time the patient cannot afford.
Our attorneys are skilled litigators who work with experts in cardiology and other fields to prepare successful cases for our clients. We are prepared to help you obtain compensation for the losses you have suffered due to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of heart disease.
