Elk & Elk’s Ohio medical malpractice lawyers know when it comes to heart attacks, every second counts

Studies suggest large number of heart-attack deaths due to late treatment and misdiagnosis

When it comes to a heart attack, “time is muscle,” an emergency medical technician once told a journalist. It sounds a little funny, but it’s an accurate way to describe the urgency of a heart attack. And, for the thousands of people who perish every year because of a failure to diagnose and treat heart attacks in time – not to mention the families and loved ones they leave behind – it’s not funny at all.
