Cardiology consists of at least 20 per cent of all acute medicine. All doctors, in whatever speciality, are involved in it and it has become an area of litigation which had dramatically increased since 1990. Many types of problem have arisen:

should the doctor have diagnosed angina when the patient presents with chest pain? Should the patient be warned of the dangers of cardiac catheterization? Is thrombolysis safe to give to a patient who has had a stroke? The increase on legal cases regarding cardiology is such that any law company dealing in medical negligence will probably come across this type of problem. This text is recommended to solicitors, barristers, law students, doctors and medical students, all of whom will at some stage become involved in the subject.
