Heart Disease is the Leading Cause of Death in Americans

Unfortunately, thousands of people needlessly suffer, and even die, from complications due to heart conditions because of physician or paramedic errors. Medical malpractice can occur when a doctor acts negligently and a patient is seriously harmed as a result. Improper treatment, wrong medication, wrong dosage, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment or the wrong surgical technique can lead to serious consequences and may be considered malpractice. If this has occurred to you or a loved one, seek the assistance of an experienced lawyer. Contact a New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer at Finz & Finz, P.C. today!

If any of these circumstances have occurred due to the negligence of a hospital, medical facility, or medical professional, you should seek the assistance of a New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer who is knowledgeable of medical malpractice litigation. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical costs, loss of wages, and/or pain and suffering.

Failure to Diagnosis and Treat Heart Conditions May Lead to Serious Health Risks

The treatment of patients with serious heart conditions and cardiac problems is crucial. Sensitive medical accuracy and thorough knowledge of cardiac procedures, medications, and surgical options is necessary for patients to receive the care they deserve in New York. However, a medical professional's mistake can result in serious heart attacks, strokes, and even sudden cardiac death. Such a circumstance is considered malpractice. If this has occurred to a loved one, contact a New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer to learn more about your legal rights.

Potential Problematic Cases of Cardiac Negligence

Without an appropriate diagnosis and plan of treatment, serious symptoms of certain heart conditions may develop and lead to dire consequences. If a medical professional fails to meet the standard of care in order to properly treat a patient and leaves such conditions untreated, serious stroke, heart attack, or even death may occur as a result.

Following are some heart conditions that are frequently the cause of New York medical malpractice suits due to the negligence of medical professionals where they misdiagnose, fail to diagnose, fail to properly treat, use poor medical judgment, or botch a procedure that can potentially lead to serious injury or death:

Coronary Artery Stents
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
Congestive Heart Failure
Missed Aortic Dissections
Lethal Arrhythmias
Coumadin Treatment
Valvular Heart Disease

What should be done if a cardiac condition was improperly diagnosed by a healthcare professional?

If you, a friend, or a loved one have had a heart attack or suffered from a cardiac event and believe that a medical malpractice was made by a hospital, doctor, or medical facility, please contact a New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer at Finz & Finz, P.C. by calling (888) FINZ-FIRM or by filling out the Free Case Evaluation form at the right of this page.
