Medical Malpractice and Arrhythmia Complications – Your Legal Rights

Medical Malpractice

Heart arrhythmia refers to a disturbance in the beating or the rhythm of the heart. It may be caused by numerous factors, and can be hereditary. Arrhythmia can be deadly if left undiagnosed as it may predispose the sufferer to a full-blown cardiac event. To this end, physicians should be on the lookout for signs of arrhythmia and do what is considered reasonable in their practice specialty to prevent arrhythmia from taking root or developing into a life-threatening condition.

Are you looking for a cardiology malpractice attorney? If you believe that your doctor could have done more to prevent your complications from an irregular heartbeat, we may be able to help. Our best medical malpractice attorneys have over 70 years of combined experience helping individuals just like you get the compensation they truly deserve due to a doctor’s negligence when it comes to preventative medicine, diagnosing heart conditions or treating them. For your 100% FREE consultation with one of our best medical malpractice lawyers for cardiac complications, call 1 (773) 825-3547 NOW so we can assess your unique medical malpractice lawsuit and advise further.

Arrhythmia may present as a flutter in one’s chest or a rapid heartbeat. In addition, an individual experiencing arrhythmia on a regular basis may feel dizzy, have a hard time catching their breath, feel like fainting, or may experience ongoing chest pain.

Arrhythmia may be sign of an underlying serious health condition such as:

  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Cardiac infarction
  • Aortic dissection
  • Stroke
  • Pulmonary disease

Arrhythmia – Early Diagnosis Is Key

It is important to diagnose arrhythmia early on because one may have a good prognosis and even avoid a fatal outcome if, for instance, the heart flutter may be a sign of blood clot formation for which a doctor may put you on blood thinners. In addition, early diagnosis may give an individual sufficient time to make adequate health and lifestyle choices to stall the progression of the above named diseases or even prevent them altogether.

An EKG or electrocardiogram can accurately diagnose heart arrhythmia. In addition, a doctor is required to not only carry out a complete physical exam, but they are also required to take a comprehensive medical history to see if they may be at risk of arrhythmia due to underlying health conditions or hereditary patterns.

Who Is At Risk for Arrhythmia?

Those with heart tissue abnormalities, diabetes, high blood pressure, pericardium damage due to infections and sleep apnea are prime candidates for the development of arrhythmia. This is why it is so important for your doctor to take a complete medical history and not leave anything to chance.

Winning a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

In order to file an arrhythmia lawsuit and win, you must show, with your best medical malpractice lawyer, that there existed a patient-doctor relationship and that negligence occurred due to the physician not adhering to a set standard of care, which led to you suffering injuries by way of health complications, resulting in you incurring damages which can either be economic or non-economic.
