FIRST 911: Before you do anything else, get help on the way. If their heart attack leads to a rhythm problem with the heart, you want a defebrillator there. Lie person down, loosen clothing and have them chew an Aspirin - it absorbs quicker that way. Stay calm and make note of any specific symptoms they describe.
