Miami Cardiology Malpractice Attorneys
Fighting Against Negligent Cardiologists in South Florida for 30+ Years
Cardiology is often regarded as one of the most difficult medical fields to practice in, which is why, in the United States, aspiring cardiologists need to complete three extra years of study after medical school. Despite this extra training, the rates of malpractice lawsuits are frequently higher among cardiologists than other physicians.
Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen has a team of cardiology malpractice lawyers and medical investigators to help you fight for your rights. The difference between this firm and others is that Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen truly cares about their clients and prioritizes them as people — not just as another case file.

What Is Cardiology?
A cardiologist is a specialist in treating the cardiovascular system, which comprises the heart, blood vessels and blood. Cardiologists conduct medical tests on new patients to determine what treatment is needed and whether surgery is necessary. Typically, they diagnose and address heart or blood issues via medicines or other treatments. In most cases, surgery is performed by a cardiovascular surgeon, but there are some procedures a cardiologist will perform themselves, only consulting a surgeon.
Many things can go wrong during a patient’s visits with the cardiologist, as well as during surgery or even in the post-surgery care stage. When errors happen because of the doctor’s negligence, a patient may have a legal case. Tragically, since cardiology concerns the heart, cardiology malpractice can encompass medical malpractice, personal injury and wrongful death claims, as well.
Do I Qualify for a Case?
As a standard practice, hospitals may require a patient to complete an informed consent form prior to surgery. These forms are often rendered void in the case of malpractice, however.
A claim of cardiology malpractice may warrant a lawsuit if a patient was the victim of one or more of the following errors:
Surgical errors
Recommending the incorrect surgery, failing to recognize the need for surgery and making a mistake during surgery can catastrophically injure a patient. Errors include administering the incorrect amount of anesthesia, failing to remove surgical devices, using defective devices, performing incorrect surgical procedures or unnecessary surgery, as well as failing to adequately monitor the patient.
These surgical errors could result in blood clots, blood vessel damage, burnt tissue, kidney problems, damage to the coronary artery, heart puncture, irregular heartbeat, and more. Post-surgery, these issues may metamorphosize into internal bleeding, a stroke or a heart attack.
Misdiagnosis of heart conditions
There are a few ways a cardiologist can misdiagnose heart conditions. There is improper diagnosis, such as if they diagnose a patient with a condition they do not have, or failure to diagnose the actual condition. Both of these misdiagnoses lead to delayed diagnoses, which could cause the patient’s actual condition to worsen. The result can be terrible health problems, even death.
Lastly, there have been cases of healthy patients misdiagnosed with a condition when there is no condition present. The healthy patient may then undergo treatment and surgery because they have been told a condition exists.
Failure to treat
If a cardiologist ignores a patient’s self-reported symptoms, does not prescribe the correct medication or fails to treat a preventable heart attack, they are liable for cardiology malpractice. Errors after surgery, such as the failure to follow up with their patient and prescribing the wrong medication, are also considered malpractice.
Damages and Compensation for Cardiology Malpractice Victims
If you were the victim of any of the malpractices mentioned above, you could be compensated for the following damages:
- Expenses arising from accommodations
- Funeral costs
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of support, mentorship, care
- Lost consortium
- Lost wages
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- And more
