James suffers a heart attack. His heartbeat and breathing have stopped completely. How would you help him Call 911 and wait for medics to arrive. Perform the Heimlich maneuver. Perform CPR.?
In the case of James suffering a heart attack with no heartbeat or breathing, you should immediately perform CPR. This involves pushing hard and fast in the center of his chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, while also ensuring to call 911 for emergency medical assistance. Continue CPR until help arrives or until he shows signs of recovery. The Heimlich maneuver is not appropriate in this situation as it is used for choking, not cardiac arrest.

While chest compressions can actually cause greater outbound pressure than abdominal compressions, compressing the chest can damage ribs and the xyphoid process and, in some cases, cause cardiac arrythmias. As first aid requires that we do no harm, this one is a tough call.
