Hello. Thank you for your question! Regarding you concern at this moment when your uncle is intubated and attached to a ventilator the most important thing to to is the maintenance of his vital parameters; as it seems to be complicated with heart failure or even worse (cardiac arrest). If he is in the very few hours of his heart attack initiation and has persistent clinics of ongoing myocardial ischemia the best thing to do is to perform immediate coronary revascularisation (PCI) if it is permitted by his actual conditions.
Hope to have been helpful.
