On May 1, 2009, Iovate Health Sciences Inc. and MuscleTech issued a nationwide voluntary recall of 14 Hydroxycut products due to numerous reports of serious side effects associated with using this weight loss supplement.

Along with liver damage and seizures, Hydroxycut is also known to cause a range of heart problems, including palpitations.

Given the severity of possible Hydroxycut side effects, those injured after taking this recalled dietary supplement should meet with an experienced Hydroxycut lawyer to learn more about their legal rights and find out if they are entitled to a settlement for their injuries.

Hydroxycut and Cardiovascular Disorders

Individuals with the highest risk of developing Hydroxycut heart problems include those with a history of:

• arrhythmias or palpitations
• blood clots
• cardiovascular disorders (such as heart disease, heart attack, etc.)
• high blood pressure

Symptoms of Hydroxycut heart attack and other Hydroxycut heart problems may include:

• changes in heart rate (either a faster, slower or irregular heart beat)
• chest pain (angina)
• dizziness
• fatigue
• lightheadedness and/or fainting
• shortness of breath

Any combination of these symptoms can indicate the presence of serious heart complications. To prevent further health problems, it's vital that affected Hydroxycut patients seek immediate medical attention.

Diagnosing Hydroxycut Heart Problems

To confirm or rule out the presence of Hydroxycut heart problems, doctors will perform:

• blood tests
• an electrocardiogram (in which electrodes placed on the chest monitor heart rhythm at rest and while exercising)
• an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the chest that allows doctors to evaluate the heart's structure and function)
• MRIs
• x-rays
• a biopsy (in which small samples of heart tissue are extracted for closer examination)

Should a Hydroxycut heart problem exist, treatment will need to begin immediately to prevent heart attack, severe heart disease and, in the worst cases, death due to Hydroxycut.

Following a Hydroxycut Heart Problem

Patients should:

• Follow through with all prescribed treatments to save their lives and achieve optimal recovery

• Meet with a Hydroxycut lawyer to evaluate whether they have a legal claim against Iovate Health Sciences Inc. and/or MuscleTech

In addition to assessing patients' cases, Hydroxycut lawyers can also give patients advice regarding the best possible manner in which to pursue their claim.

Those who choose to stand up for their legal rights and pursue a Hydroxycut lawsuit can win compensation for their:

• past hospital bills
• ongoing treatment costs
• lost wages
• permanent disabilities
• future costs of living (should permanent disabilities prevent patients from earning a living)
• pain and suffering
