The cardiologist was brought back to life back after '17 minutes of downtime'

Dr. Farqad Alamgir, a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, was travelling from Manchester to Dublin Airport on a regular trip to Ireland, where he works in a number of hospitals, when he took ill.

Dublin Airport’s advanced paramedics administered life-saving drugs at the scene before transferring Dr. Alamgir to the Mater Hospital in Dublin, where he underwent emergency heart bypass surgery. “I remember getting off the aircraft at Dublin Airport, then the next memory I have is waking up in the Coronary Care Unit in the Mater Hospital,” he said.

Following bypass surgery, the Mater Hospital cardiac team said Dr. Alamgir had been resuscitated by “a thoroughly professional and well-trained emergency response team at Dublin Airport”.
