The first aid treatment for a heart attack is fairly limited. We can reassure the patient. As well as this, we can help the patient take any prescribed medication (i.e. GTN spray).
The best thing we can do is to phone for an ambulance and to ensure prompt medical treatment is delivered to the patient. This is the best treatment first aiders can provide.
