Misdiagnosis of Heart Attack

Around half a million people will lose their lives to a heart attack this year. Sometimes even immediate treatment and proper care is not enough to save a person from one of these attacks. When oxygen stops being circulated to the heart, the effects will likely be deadly. Misdiagnosis of a heart attack is particularly dangerous.

Despite the obvious symptoms of a heart attack, medical malpractice cases have cited the negligence of medical professionals to diagnosis a heart attack correctly. The result of their carelessness can cause significant injuries, emotional pain and suffering, and worse case scenario, death.

The symptoms of a heart attack are well known amongst medical professionals. The first signs of a heart attack may include fatigue, dizziness, and weakness. These symptoms can be quickly followed by excruciating chest pain. The signs that point to a heart attack and not other health conditions include shortness of breath, chills, nausea, and anxiety. Discoloration of parts of the body show signs of a lack of oxygen to the heart. If these clear symptoms are misread by a negligent doctor, the professional should be held responsible for their careless actions.
