Missed Heart Disease Signals, A Family's Tragedy

Tracey McGrann, a 54-year-old woman from Birkenhead, died suddenly in May 2024, just months after her husbands passing. Her daughter found her unresponsive in bed. An inquest ruled her death due to ischemic heart disease. Earlier that year, Tracey experienced chest pains and shortness of breath, leading to an ECG test that showed an abnormality. However, she was sent home without a doctors sign-off. Traceys family was devastated, with her daughters Leah and Alisha left to navigate significant changes. Months later, a photo of the ECG revealed the missed red flag, leading to a meeting with hospital leaders who admitted no proper duty of care was given. Meanwhile, misdiagnosis claims against NHS trusts in England surged, with payouts topping one point two billion dollars.
