Each massive heart attack is different, due to how soon you get help etc. also, if the Brain was starved off oxygen?; if so?, for how long? these are all important questions.... Sometimes some damage is reversible, which means with the right treatment things will improve over time, I know of cases where folks have serious heart attack then make excellent recovery with a good team of Doctors, it all depends on TIME, get the patient to emergency room asap, call an ambulance.
Once they are there, a team will already be waiting ready to go, sometimes the patient will need resussitation - anyway's it's hard for me to answer such a broad minded question when every patient is different. The best person to ask, is the team treating the patient, ask them about possible brain damage or other things like nerve damage which means a patient may not be able to move arms or legs, well even this can heal over time.... things have been made possible today through modern medicine that was not available 20 years ago.
