Missed Diagnosis of Heart Attack Lawyer California Lawyer

A heart attack can occur when the heart is receiving a reduction in necessary blood flow to that organ. A heart attack is a myocardial infarction, and it happens whenever there is a reduction of blood flowing to that organ. If there is a lack of blood flow to the heart, it can be because of several reasons, namely because of a blockage of the arteries leading to the heart. If the blood flow that needs to go to the heart is not restored immediately after a blockage, the person can sustain permanent heart damage whereby death is the final outcome of this situation. There is no time to waste when a person is having a heart attack. Therefore, if there is a missed diagnosis of a heart attack, the individual experiencing the emergency will lose precious minutes in the process of missing a diagnosis of a major heart issue.

“Help, I Had a Failure to Diagnose Heart Attack in a Hospital from My Doctor and Am Seriously Injured, What Do I Do Now?”

If you have had a failure of the healthcare professionals you sought to diagnose your heart attack, you can call our law office for legal advice. Most healthcare providers would want to see a person having a heart attack at the early stages of the heart event. Many times, a heart attack is missed as a diagnosis because not enough testing was performed, to ensure the proper diagnosis of a heart attack. Some healthcare providers know what a full blown heart attack will present as in an emergency room at a hospital, but other providers will not understand or identify the subtle symptoms leading up to a full heart attack on an individual.

Should You Start a Lawsuit for a Wrongful Diagnosis Heart Attack That Results in the Death of a Loved One?

Yes, because a missed or wrongful diagnosis of a heart attack will often result in the death of the person who did not get the proper diagnosis, and then it is too late to help the person. If you have a loved one who died because of a doctor misdiagnosing a heart attack in an emergency department of a hospital, then the doctor is going to be facing a possible medical malpractice claim. If the common symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction are missed by the emergency support staff at a hospital or urgent care facility, then what else is needed to determine and identify a heart attack?

A person can be in the throes of a heart attack, if the individual is experiencing:

• Chest pain
• Shoulder pain
• Arm pain
• Dyspnea
• Weakness with no reason for it
• Nausea

Studies show that a person who thinks he or she is having a heart attack will call an ambulance, to be taken to a hospital emergency room/emergency department for care. If the medical staff fails to diagnose a heart attack once the person comes in for treatment, the individual can die waiting for the proper treatment for the heart attack to be administered.
