A Lehigh County jury has awarded nearly $6 million to the widow of a man who died of a heart attack after his chest pain was allegedly improperly diagnosed as the result of panic attacks.

The jury in Cowher v. Kodali handed up the verdict Monday after more than a week of trial before Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas Judge J. Brian Johnson. The verdict included $2,457,000 in wrongful death and $3,833,000 in survival damages, for a total of $6.29 million, according to the court.
