| Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
| Plaintiffs alleged the insured failed to recognize and appreciate the patient¿s signs and symptoms of an ST elevation myocardial infarction elevated Troponin/CPK levels such that the patient was not provided timely intervention. As a result, the patient claims to have suffered significant heart damage resulting in claims of physical impairment, psychological and emotional damages, disfigurement and loss of income. Multiple experts concluded the insured acted appropriately in the face of mildly elevated troponin levels in a patient with history of DVT without any corresponding signs or symptoms of myocardial infarction by ordering repeat studies and additional monitoring. The insured was off duty and not responsible for the patient at the time when subsequent cardiac markers returned positive and were accompanied by chest pain consistent with a heart attack. Moreover, the consulting cardiologist after personal evaluation of the patient initially did not believe that the patient¿s condition required intervention. | |||||
