If treated privately probably tens of thousands?
But it depends on the nature of the treatment and accommodation provided.
A "heart attack" could involve a wide range of treatments and/or surgery.
Hospital Charges - HSE.ie
There are no hospital charges for public inpatient care or day service care. The removal of these charges was announced as part of Budget 2023 and came into effect on 17 April 2023. Inpatient and day service charges still apply for inpatient and day service care up until and including 16 April 2023.

I hadn't factored in the A&E charge.
Edited my previous post to reflect that.
Thanks.
Some indicative figures here...

The big-ticket health bills facing Irish men
Irish men are facing bills running into the tens of thousands of euro to get treatment for the typical health problems they are likely to run into over their lifetime. Life-saving surgery could cost more than the average industrial wage. Many men don't have this kind of money.

I would imagine that there might be a long waiting lists for public patients?
Although if you had a heart attack and brought to hospital by an ambulance I would imagine you would get the job done there and then?
For elective procedures probably.
"Heart attack" is very vague but sounds like an emergency.
At least dealing with the immediate issues whatever about longer term issues.
It's very difficult to answer such vague questions authoritatively.
