Heart Attack Misdiagnosis
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Some of the warning signs of a heart attack are shortness of breath, chest tightness, pain in other parts of the body, and sweating.
Doctors often misdiagnose a heart attack for another disease or condition, especially when the patient doesn’t fit the demographic of those most at-risk for suffering a heart attack. They may fail to administer proper tests that can determine if a heart attack is approaching. The timely diagnosis of a heart attack is critical. Immediate action must be taken to prevent a heart attack.
