Why Is A Patient Put In Induced Comma After A Heart Attack?

My friend is in the hospital. Apparently he has 6 clogged arteries and had a heart attack. He also has a bacteria for which the doctors cut a gaping hole in his groin. The doctors have put him in a medically induced coma. What would be the reason for this? My friend also has uncontrolled diabetes.
