Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of cardiac event based on symptoms and risk factors
- Severe chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, and radiating pain are highly suggestive of AMI
- Time-sensitive condition requiring rapid intervention to minimize myocardial damage

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and onset)
3. Aortic Dissection (lower probability, no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no sudden onset of breathlessness without pain)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Oxygen administration if available
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization capabilities

Final Diagnosis
