Yes, a trained individual can and should start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a person who has just had a heart attack. The goal of CPR is to restore blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body, and in a heart attack the heart stops pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body.

Don't worry about the cause, nor should you worry about leaking blood from internal injuries.
