Heart disease is the leading killer of adults in the U.S. Those who treat heart disease do very important work. However, sometimes they’re negligent. Patients can be harmed or even lose their lives when this happens.
This is apparently becoming increasingly common. A report cited in a 2018 edition of Cardiovascular Business indicates that lawsuits for cardiovascular malpractice increased by approximately 90% over the course of a decade. This trend isn’t slowing down, with lawsuits against cardiologists increasing annually. It’s not yet clear why this is.
