Cardiovascular Disease Expert Witnesses

Cardiovascular Disease refers to a group of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. It includes coronary heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, aortic disease and stroke. Many cardiovascular conditions involve narrowing or blockage of arteries, which can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events. Cases involving cardiovascular disease can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to diagnosis, underlying risk factors, disease progression, investigations and timing of treatment. Experts may also consider atherosclerosis, cardiovascular events, treatment decisions, clinical management, causation and subsequent outcomes. Our cardiovascular expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, ECGs, echocardiograms, blood tests, CT or MRI imaging and other relevant investigations. They can also assess causation, diagnosis, clinical management, complications and prognosis. The British Heart Foundation identifies these investigations among those used in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
