Did Your Doctor Fail to Diagnose Your Heart Defect?

There are many different types of congenital heart defects. Some of the most common heart defects include:

• Aortic or pulmonary valve stenosis
• Atrial septal defect
• Atrioventricular septal defect
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Ebstein’s anomaly
• Patent ductus arteriosus
• Pulmonary atresia
• Single ventricle anomaly
• Transposition of the great arteries

Not every case of death or injury due to a congenital heart defect is due to medical malpractice. Sometimes a health care provider can do everything he or she is supposed to do and still not discover a heart defect in time to treat it. However, if a doctor failed to diagnose your heart defect despite observable symptoms, failed to order appropriate tests or failed to properly interpret test results, you may have a case of medical negligence.
