'Every breath I take, I owe to them.'
A Scots dad is encouraging people to learn CPR after his daughter and dad saved his life when he took a heart attack at home.Aonghas, 50, said: "I've always kept myself reasonably fit and healthy and, last year, I really did think I was in the best shape of my life. I had no concerns about my heart and so what happened really was a bolt out of the blue.
"It must have been so frightening for them, but they stayed so calm. The ambulance crew worked on me for an hour in the house, administering shocks from a defibrillator." He spoke out as figures indicate only 54% of Scots would be able to perform CPR if someone had a cardiac arrest. The survey of 1,006 adults in Scotland also found a third of respondents have never learned CPR. Of those, almost half said it was because they did not know where to learn, while 26% said they did not have the confidence to learn.
