Did Doctors Fail To Diagnose And Treat A Heart Attack?

A report published by the Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America estimates that up to 8 percent of heart attacks are “missed” in the emergency room. If there is a failure to diagnose a heart attack, the results can be devastating. Failure to properly, quickly and efficiently diagnose and treat a heart problem can lead to death or permanent damage or weakening of the heart muscle.

Doctors and nurses must quickly react to patient concerns and address the issue with the proper diagnostic tests and treatment. Failing to diagnose heart disease is one of the most common medical malpractice mistakes.
