Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Justification for F1 Classification:
- Classic presentation of STEMI: severe crushing chest pain, radiation to left arm, diaphoresis, shortness of breath
- High risk of sudden cardiac arrest or other life-threatening complications
- Time-critical condition requiring immediate intervention to restore myocardial perfusion

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute STEMI (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (less likely given severity and duration of symptoms)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given absence of pleuritic chest pain and sudden onset)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities immediately
- Early notification of receiving hospital with cardiac cath lab
- Initiate oxygen therapy and cardiac monitoring
- Prepare for possible defibrillation and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS)

Final Diagnosis
