The state Superior Court has upheld a nearly $5.3 million verdict a Berks County jury awarded to the wife of a man who died after his doctor allegedly failed to diagnose and treat him for heart disease.

The original verdict, which was handed down in February 2009, was for $4 million, but a Berks County trial court entered an order in December 2009 for delay damages in the amount of nearly $1.3 million, according to court papers.
