Heart Attacks

Protecting Floridians who survive a heart attack misdiagnosis

The attorneys at Morgenstern & Herd, P.A. have 40 years of combined experience handling complex medical negligence cases.  We successfully represent patients who are victims of a heart attack misdiagnosis. 

When advocating on your behalf, attorney Betsey Herd brings her extensive background in cardiovascular physiology and experience as a clinical manager for a large hospital system.  She knows how to properly represent you. 

When a heart attack is misdiagnosed the results can be tragic

Medical professionals need to address heart attack symptoms responsibly and in consistency with proper standards of a care.  Common symptoms of a heart attack include:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Nausea
  • Sweating
  • Fainting or lightheadedness
  • Arm, shoulder, or back pain
  • Chest pain and pressure that feels like a:
    • Squeezing sensation
    • Burning or crushing pain

As soon as you or another report your symptoms, your doctor or emergency room professional should immediately administer one or more of the following tests to avoid injury or death:

  • Cardiac enzyme tests
  • Echocardiograms
  • Stress tests
  • Angiograms
  • Electrocardiograms

Attorney Herd can help if your medical doctor or hospital fails to use proper diagnostic tests, or misreads or ignores any of your test results.  Patients discharged without proper diagnosis may suffer heart attacks resulting in permanent injury and possible death. In addition, our lawyers are dedicated to helping persons who have suffered a heart attack or stroke by the diabetes drug Avandia or Vioxx.
