We interviewed 55 cardiologists, internists, and family practitioners to determine attitudes and practices regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) counseling. There was unanimous support for citizen-CPR. However, only 40 per cent of the physicians interviewed recommended CPR training to spouses of patients with coronary heart disease and 42 per cent did not provide counseling about cardiac arrest. This suggests that the doctor's office can be better utilized in the promotion of CPR education.
