Case Responses
Cardiology Plan of Care (Case #567)
- Medical Probability: 3 / 10
- Medical Error Summary: Tragic outcome in a patient with extraordinary cardiovascular risk burden and end-stage diffuse coronary disease at catheterization (total LAD ostial and proximal RCA occlusions, 90% left main, 90% pr...
- Causation Probability: 3 / 10
- Causation Summary: Causation is highly unlikely given the catheterization findings. The patient was found to have total occlusion of the proximal RCA, total occlusion of the LAD at the ostium, 90% distal left main steno...
- Expert Summary: I am a board-certified interventional cardiologist with 7 of clinical practice. This case sits squarely within my daily clinical practice. I routinely manage patients presenting with NSTE-ACS, evalu...
- Similar Summary: The clinical scenarios in this case (NSTE-ACS workup, serial troponin interpretation, on-call decisions about timing of invasive management, and transfer decisions) are part of my routine practice. Th...
Potential negligence in the management of cardiogenic shock (Case #572)

- Medical Error Summary: The care rendered raises legitimate concerns but, on the facts as presented, falls within the range of defensible clinical judgment under the circumstances. Several points support this assessment: Di...
- Causation Probability: 4 / 10
- Causation Summary: Even assuming arguendo that a breach of the standard of care occurred (most plausibly the administration of IV diltiazem in a patient with clinical signs of decompensated heart failure without prior a...
- Expert Summary: I am a board-certified interventional cardiologist with 9 years of clinical experience managing patients with acute decompensated heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and complex arrhythmias. My practice...
- Similar Summary: I encounter the core clinical scenarios in this case on a regular basis. Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response are among the most common arrhythmias I manage, and I ev...
