Our cardiac and heart compensation claims expertise
Our medical negligence team has
specialist experience in cardiac negligence
claims. Our experienced team has won
many cardiac-related claims recovering substantial damages for
our clients on a 'no win, no
fee' basis.
The term cardiac simply
means 'related to the heart' and
cardiology refers to dealing with disorders of the
heart.
Common conditions include:
- high blood pressure (hypertension)
- ischaemic heart disease, including angina and heart
attacks (myocardial infarction)
- abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- left heart failure (pulmonary oedema)
The majority of heart/cardiac operations in the UK are
successful but sometimes things do go wrong and mistakes can have
devastating effects.
We have won cardiac negligence claims in instances
where:
- a heart attack was misdiagnosed, usually as
gastritis/indigestion
- a delay in adequate treatment of high blood pressure
caused injuries
- a failure to treat heart failure properly caused
injuries
- failure to manage an arrhythmia appropriately,
including following a cardiac arrest
Mistakes can be serious leading to
brain damage, other serious injury and, on occasion,
death.
