Heart Problems Linked to Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator and Breathing-Disorder

Long-term disability benefits may be available if you have been diagnosed with a health condition that will require missed time from work. During your treatment and recovery time, disability benefits can help to offset your lost wages.

According to a report from Medline Plus, new research finds that heart problems have been linked to patients who have an implantable cardiac defibrillator and sleep-disordered breathing.

The research specifically found that these heart problems that occur during the night can be fatal. The 2 conditions found to be an increased risk are ventricular fibrillation, where the heart rhythm is severely abnormal, and ventricular tachycardia, where the heartbeat is extremely rapid.

The timeframe in which the risk was highest was found between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. All of this leads researchers to believe that doctors need to check patients who have an implantable cardiac defibrillator for the condition of sleep-disordered breathing. The combination of these 2 conditions could lead to serious heart problems.

Whether you're medical condition is related to your heart or something else, if it is severe and you will not be able to work for a long period of time, then you may qualify for long-term disability benefits. Consulting with a Miami Beach long-term disability attorney should be your next step.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve. When a severe medical condition makes it impossible for you to work and you've been denied your long-term disability benefits, an attorney from LaVan & Neidenberg, P.A. can help you cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits, no matter where you live in the U.S!
