Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Justification for F1 Classification:
- Severe, crushing chest pain with radiation, shortness of breath, and diaphoresis highly suggestive of STEMI
- Time-critical condition requiring immediate intervention to minimize myocardial damage
- High risk of cardiac arrest

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute STEMI (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (less likely given severity and radiation of pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain reported)
4. Pericarditis (less likely, no pleuritic pain)

Required Actions:
- Immediate dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Notification of hospital emergency department for potential STEMI activation
- Pre-hospital ECG if available and trained personnel
- Oxygen administration and monitoring of vital signs

Final Diagnosis
