Their testimony clarifies for juries when diagnostic delays or treatment failures fell below the standard of care.

Cardiology Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts cardiology expert witness services.

How quickly should a heart attack be diagnosed and treated?

Reliable Clinical Experts cardiologists testify that for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), door-to-balloon time should be under 90 minutes per ACC/AHA guidelines. For non-STEMI, cardiac catheterization should occur within 24-72 hours depending on risk stratification. Delays beyond these evidence-based timeframes increase myocardial damage and constitute substandard care.

What complications can occur during cardiac catheterization?

Cardiac catheterization risks include arterial bleeding, hematoma, coronary dissection, perforation, stroke, contrast-induced nephropathy, and allergic reactions. Reliable Clinical Experts cardiologists distinguish complications occurring despite proper technique from those resulting from operator error, inadequate pre-procedure assessment, or poor complication management.
