Healthcare & FDA attorney Michael H. Cohen is co-author of “Medico-Legal Issues in Cardiology,” published by Cardiology in Review 2013;21:222-228. The article aims to educate physicians about the current litigation climate in cardiology and cardiac surgery, with a focus on the most frequently litigated areas of practice, including failure to diagnose and treat. Empirical research on cardiology malpractice is presented, along with a sampling of cases designed to illustrate common legal issues and themes, and describe liability risk management. Topics include informed consent in integrative medicine and documentation.
The article also provides practical recommendations for cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to limit their liability.
