Failure To Diagnose Heart Attack

Representing Clients Nationwide

Heart attacks are becoming more treatable than ever before, thanks to advances in cardiac care. You might think that the safest place for a person with signs of cardiac arrest would be a hospital or doctor’s office, but this is not always the case. Physicians are trained to identify the symptoms of heart attack and should be able to order the right tests, as well as interpret the test results correctly. But the fact is that every year, too many innocent patients suffering from a heart attack don’t get the critical treatment they deserve due to physician oversight. The malpractice lawyers at Chávez Law Group help victims of negligent medical care fight for compensation from careless physicians who should have diagnosed their heart attack.

Symptoms of Heart Attack

The sooner a heart attack is diagnosed, the sooner it can be treated and the less likely the patient is to suffer heart muscle damage. The following symptoms may go overlooked or mistaken for another condition:

  • Chest pain
  • Discomfort in any area of the upper body
  • Nausea
  • Shortness of breath
  • Lightheadness/dizziness
  • Cold, clammy skin
  • Sweating

How Heart Attacks Get Overlooked

Careless mistakes can be life-threatening when it comes to diagnosing cardiac events; this type of medical malpractice often leaves patients with permanent severe heart and organ damage. There are a variety of reasons a patient who is having or recently experienced a cardiac event does not get diagnosed properly, such as:

  • Miscommunication between medical professionals
  • Test result mix-ups
  • EKG, echocardiogram, CT heart scan, MRI, and other testing equipment errors
  • Failure to order chest X-ray and other diagnostic tests
  • Incorrect evaluation of stress tests
  • Physician fatigue
  • Physician intoxication
