Cardiac Failure and negligence

Some examples of medical negligence related to cardiac failure include:
‍

1. Failure to Diagnose or Misdiagnosis: Healthcare providers may fail to recognise the signs and symptoms of cardiac failure, leading to delays in treatment.‍
   ‍
2. Inadequate Monitoring: Patients with known cardiac failure require close monitoring to ensure that signs of worsening heart function are detected early. Negligence may occur if healthcare providers fail to monitor cardiac function adequately or if warning signs of deterioration are not acted upon.‍
   ‍
3. ‍Medication Errors: Errors in medication management, can worsen cardiac failure and lead to adverse outcomes.‍
   ‍
4. Lack of Follow-Up Care: Patients with cardiac failure often require ongoing follow-up care. Negligence may occur if healthcare providers fail to provide adequate follow up resulting in adverse outcome.
   ‍
5. ‍Surgical Errors: In some cases, cardiac failure may require surgical interventions. Negligence during surgical procedures, such as errors in surgical technique, inadequate postoperative care, or failure to monitor for complications, can worsen cardiac failure and lead to adverse outcomes.
