OTTAWA – A 71-year-old man was rushed to hospital Friday night after suffering a heart attack while exercising.
Ottawa Paramedics were called to the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community on Paul Anka Drive just after 6 p.m. and found the man in cardiac arrest.
The man was on the treadmill when it happened – staff jumped into action immediately and called 911 then administered CPR. They also used a portable defibrillator and delivered two shocks to the man.
When paramedics arrived, they were able to regain a pulse and the man began breathing on his own.
He remains in critical condition.
