Cardiology Expert Witnesses

What is a cardiology expert witness?

Accreditations such as Fellow of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (FSCAI), Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), or Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) can add credibility with a judge and jury.
