Heart Attacks And Stroke
Heart attacks and strokes are some of the leading causes of death in the United States. Proper diagnosis and treatment of someone who is showing the signs of a heart attack or stroke is essential to helping that person survive. When doctors or other medical professionals fail to recognize or treat these symptoms, serious, sometimes fatal, results can occur.

Doctor And Hospital Errors
Malpractice involving heart attack and/or stroke cases usually involve one of the following situations:
- A doctor or other medical professional fails to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, delaying treatment which if delivered in a timely manner would likely have reduced the harm.
- A doctor or other medical professional fails to properly read the results of an EKG, stress test or other test that indicated the patient was suffering a heart attack or stroke, resulting in delayed treatment or diagnosis and subsequent serious harm.
- A patient suffers a heart attack or stroke during or following a medical procedure where the proper standard of care was not followed.
It is important to keep in mind that malpractice cases can be difficult to prove. Mistakes may be made by medical staff that do not rise to the legal definition of malpractice. If you believe that you or a loved one has been harmed by medical negligence, you should explore your options with the help of experienced legal counsel.
