I could not have had a nicer person dealing with my case. She was always so friendly and I was always treated with dignity at every stage of the case.

Heart

Many people require surgery on the heart to treat heart disease and ensure this critical muscle continues to operate as it should do - continuously pumping blood to the body and the lungs to keep the body, as a whole, working.

Of course, as with any surgery, there are risks involved in heart operations (cardiac surgery) particularly in relation to heart transplants. However, medical advances have meant that most heart surgery, such as angiograms where an X-ray picture is taken to visualise the inner opening of the heart chambers, or an angioplasty, which helps to widen a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel in the heart, are now not as invasive as they once were.

However, despite this there are cases where patients have suffered further medical complications, surgery or even death due to lack of care by medical professionals before, during or after heart surgery. In these cases, there may be a claim for compensation.

If you have suffered as a result of a medical accident or because of sub-standard care or management in relation to cardiology, the law can help you find out what happened and why, and in some cases recover compensation for your suffering. Contact us for further information.
