Bronx, United States - November 8, 2018 /PressCable/ —

There are over 28 million U.S adults diagnosed with heart disease as of 2016. According to the same report, 634,000 people in the U.S died of heart disease. The American Heart Association (AHA) says one American will suffer a heart attack every 40 seconds with annual incidence rates for heart attacks reaching 720,000 new attacks and 335,000 recurrent attacks.

A heart attack misdiagnosis is risky and can devastate families. It is thus important for anyone who suffers through a wrong heart attack misdiagnosis to get legal assistance from a wrong diagnosis attorney at the Law Firm of Silberstein, Awad & Miklos, P.C. (SAM) by calling toll free 877-ASK4SAM (877-275-4726) or visiting https://ask4sam.net/new-york-medical-malpractice-lawyer/misdiagnosis/ to get more information.

Heart disease is the major cause of death among both men and women and this necessitates proper diagnosis of any heart-related conditions to avoid death. However, heart attack misdiagnosis is common and this leads to the high fatality rate and a lot of financial and emotional pain for the patients and their families.

While some persons who suffer wrong heart attack misdiagnosis will survive, many others lose their lives. The fact that over 5 million people go to the emergency room each year means it is easy for initial responders to get the diagnosis wrong.

When speaking about the worrying increase in heart attack misdiagnosis, one of the legal experts at Ask4Sam.net had this to say,

“For many years patients and their families have suffered financial and emotional trauma due to heart attack misdiagnosis. The symptoms of heart attack are common and similar to many other non-life threatening illnesses and conditions. This is where the problem comes in because doctors under pressure to clear the emergency room don’t recognize the severity of the situation. In the worst case scenario, the patient might die before leaving hospital but even when the situation stabilizes, they are at high risk of another heart attack” said the wrong diagnosis attorney.

“Now it is understandable that the emergency room response is always under pressure but doctors must use their expertise to detect symptoms of heart attack. It is worrying that out of the 12 million Americans misdiagnosed every year, a large number now suffer life-threatening heart attacks,” she added.

“For this reason, families lose their loved ones and in many cases, they end up in financial ruin while treating the wrong disease. When dealing with heart disease, it is crucial for the doctor to get it right the first time and if they don’t, then the family must have justice,” the spokesperson concluded.
