According to the American Heart Association, one out of every four deaths in the United States is caused by heart disease. That’s 600,000 people a year who succumb to this illness.

Great advances continue to be made in the field of cardiology. New technologies and devices have made cardiac surgery far less intrusive and risky than it was even 15 years ago. Bypass patients now enjoy fairly quick recoveries, while valve replacement and stents have become commonplace methods of treating serious heart pathologies.
The problem is that sometimes stent, valve, and bypass surgeries are performed incorrectly, indicated wrongly, or timed improperly. This negligence can result in serious injury or fatality in patients who were expected to come through a procedure without difficulty.
