Heart Attack Misdiagnosis in San Antonio
Focused Investigation After a Missed or Delayed Cardiac Diagnosis
A heart attack may go unrecognized during an initial evaluation, be diagnosed only after symptoms worsen, or remain undetected when a patient is discharged. The Miller Law Firm handles medical malpractice claims involving these diagnostic breakdowns and examines whether the error caused additional injury or changed the patient’s outcome.
Symptoms of a cardiac event may initially be attributed to anxiety, indigestion, or another non-cardiac condition. We investigate the complete diagnostic process, including whether test results were reviewed, abnormal findings were communicated, and appropriate follow-up appointments were ordered.

How We Investigate a Missed Heart Attack Diagnosis
We begin by reviewing records related to the symptoms, evaluation, and eventual diagnosis, including:
- Office notes
- Hospital charts
- Lab reports
- Imaging studies
- Medication lists
- Electronic medical records
We use those materials to build a detailed timeline of symptoms and provider decisions. The timeline can show what information was available, when abnormal findings appeared, and whether electrocardiogram interpretation or other diagnostic testing became part of the patient’s evaluation.
We then assess whether the evidence supports a departure from the applicable standard of care, meaning the level of care required under the circumstances. A viable claim requires evidence connecting that departure to the alleged injury. After reviewing the records, we determine whether consultation with medical professionals is necessary to evaluate these issues.
