Atherosclerosis Expert Witnesses

Atherosclerosis occurs when fatty deposits build up within the walls of arteries, causing them to narrow and restrict blood flow. The condition can affect arteries supplying the heart, brain and limbs. It can increase the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Cases involving arterial disease can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to diagnosis, investigations, risk assessment and treatment. Experts may also consider disease progression, vascular complications, surgical or endovascular intervention and subsequent outcomes. Our vascular and cardiovascular expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, vascular imaging and investigation results. They can also assess diagnosis, treatment decisions, causation, prognosis and subsequent clinical management.
