It is an undisputed fact that heart attacks are the leading cause of death in this country. Every year, 1.5 million heart attacks occur in the United States, killing about 500,000 people.
With millions of Americans being affected by heart disease, it is the responsibility of the medical community – be it doctors, healthcare providers or emergency room physicians – to spot the telltale signs of heart disease in the patients they examine. While it’s not always easy to diagnose heart disease, the shocking fact is that tens of thousands die every year in the United States because of failure to diagnose heart disease or mistaking heart disease for another condition. Unfortunately, it happens too often and mostly, it happens in emergency rooms.
