Michigan Cardiology Malpractice Attorney

Heart Attack and Heart Disease Malpractice

Cardiac disease is the leading cause of death in this country. Each year, thousands of people die as the result of cardiac disease, including coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (heart attack). Many of these deaths are preventable if timely diagnosis and aggressive treatment is provided. Chest pain and shortness of breath are hallmark symptoms of coronary artery disease but are often attributed to other conditions by primary care physicians, nurses, and paramedics.

Unfortunately, many patients suffer and even die as the result of heart conditions because their health care provider failed to recognize the symptoms and provide adequate treatment. Medical science has made tremendous advancements over the years in the treatment of serious cardiac conditions. Cardiac bypass surgery, stenting and advances and developments in medications for treating high blood pressure and elevated lipid levels can minimize complications and the chances of cardiac damage and death. A Michigan medical malpractice lawyer at Sommers Schwartz can review your case and determine whether a malpractice claim should be pursued.
