Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Justification for F1 Classification:
- Classic presentation of STEMI with severe chest pain, radiation, shortness of breath, and diaphoresis
- Known history of previous MI and cardiovascular risk factors
- Time-critical condition requiring immediate intervention to minimize myocardial damage

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) - STEMI (high probability)
2. Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) - Unstable Angina (less likely given severity and radiation)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given absence of pleuritic pain)

Required Actions:
- Immediate dispatch of ALS ambulance with pre-hospital ECG capability
- Early notification of hospital cardiac catheterization lab
- Administration of aspirin and oxygen as per protocol
- Rapid transport to hospital with PCI capability
