According to Dr. Perrault, a patient who hasn't had access to the diagnostic process will show up at a later stage of the disease, which will have worsened, and their chances of recuperation will become more difficult. Their chances of returning to work quickly will also be lessened. A mild heart attack can become much more severe. The patient will lose function, which will affect their quality of life. Sometimes, the patient will suffer from having heart failure and will become a subscriber to the health care system because of the chronic nature of the disease. For this reason, not treating it quickly will lead to an explosion in costs. Is that right?
