Boston Heart Attack Misdiagnosis Lawyer
Understanding Heart Attack Misdiagnosis
Heart attack misdiagnosis can occur when medical professionals fail to accurately identify the symptoms of a heart attack, which can sometimes resemble other, less severe conditions such as anxiety or indigestion. This can lead to delayed treatment and increased risk of severe health complications or even death. In Massachusetts, healthcare practitioners are expected to adhere to rigorous standards of care, making any deviation that results in harm subject to medical malpractice claims. At Crowe & Harris, LLP, we meticulously evaluate each case to determine the extent of the misdiagnosis and the impact on the patient's health.
When quickly diagnosed, it may be possible for heart attack victims to undergo a number of life-saving procedures and treatments while they are still available. Unfortunately, medical professionals sometimes fail to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack—or wrongly diagnose it altogether—and therefore do not provide medical care that can be critical to the victim’s recovery. Under these circumstances, it may be possible to hold the medical professional accountable for your late or wrong diagnosis.
