To be honest you can't do much in this case. Try to get him/her to hospital ASAP.

2: Massage his/ her chest.
3: If the person is completely out push his chest with palm of your
hand.
4: Consult you Doctor for the medicines, you need to inject patient.
Other Answers:
call 911
First Two Steps I'd Take Would Be:
1 - Get Asprin (Thins Out Blood, To Get Moving)
2 - Call 911
I just know that you should not move him/her at all because even a moving finger causes heart to beat faster!
Cardio-pulmonary resusciatation (CPR). Remove dentures, open neck band or collar of shirt....it it happens to you, there is little you can do for yourself.
I have heard that, for a short time, coughing violently helps to keep the heart beating.
If you are in the United States, call 911 and begin to administer CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation). The 911 operator can coach you through it sometimes. You can also call your local chapter of the Red Cross to ask about CPR classes.
If you are not in the USA, call the number used for medical emergencies and get help. Ask about taking life saving courses as well so that you will be prepared.
Here are few links about how to preform CPR on adults, children and infants.

All the best to you!
Do cardio pulmonary resucitation (google it) until an ambulance arrives. Ask for defibrillator when calling an ambulance
Get trained and get equipped to handle the situation.
I hope the following links help you in that regard.
The more of us that are prepared and equipped for emergencies the better off we all will be.
Peace of mind requires preparation and action.
OK, let's assume that prevention is not an option, although that really is the most important step.
1. Early recognition. Learn the signs of a heart attack well enough to see it in the earliest stages. If the victim has meds they are supposed to take, include them in this step.
2. Early notification. Calling for help ASAP is a critical point. If you catch it really early you may only need to call the doctor- maybe.
3. Early CPR if needed. Keeping the oxygenated blood circulating buys the victim time.
4. Early defribrillation. Getting an AED or 'paddles' on the heart as soon as possible will help get the heart going again.
5. Early advanced care. The care the paramedics and cardiac care team can provide is vital for long-term success.
There is a lot of 'folk medicine' solutions offered. Some work, like asprain therapy, but even those should be with the guidance of a doctor.
Other treatments are... well, they range from being questionable to downright stupid.
Get some CPR training- the good hands-on kind the Red Cross or American Heart Association offer.
Try to calm the person down. Drink a glass of cold water. If aspirin is avilable, take it. Call the doctor at the earliest.
Go to the health clinic and learn CPR. Then buy afibulater. You know, one of them jump your heart things. They sell them now. They're expensive, like 300+. But if your that worried about it then its probably worth it.
