Heart Arrhythmia Diagnosis Error Malpractices
Americans in the millions have some kind of cardiac arrhythmia. Many symptoms are benign, but other types are indications of catastrophic cardiac disease, which require prompt treatment to decrease risk of complications, and even death.
When a physician or other health professional neglects to treat or diagnose properly cardiac arrhythmia, patients can sustain catastrophic consequences.
An irregularity in the rhythm of the heart is arrhythmia. This can cause the heart to beat too quickly, too slowly, or in a pattern that is regular.
As a natural pacemaker during normal functioning of the heart, the right side sends out electrical indications which control the beat of the heart.
Arrhythmia occurs when the pacemaker, that is natural, begins to transmit an irregular indication, when there is an interruption of the pathway conduction through the heart, or when there’s a signal transmitting in another area of the heart.
Arrhythmia can encompass palpitations that are mild, to critical cases that result in cardiac arrest, as well as death. Stroke, heart disease, and other severe conditions can also be signaled.
