Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), likely Myocardial Infarction
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of a cardiac event based on classic symptoms (chest pain, radiation, shortness of breath, diaphoresis)
- Potential for life-threatening complications (arrhythmias, cardiac arrest)
- Time-sensitive condition requiring rapid intervention to limit myocardial damage

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (likely differential)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no reported tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no risk factors)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and associated symptoms)

Required Actions:
- Immediate dispatch of ALS ambulance
- Continuous cardiac monitoring and oxygen administration
- Early notification to hospital for potential cardiac catheterization
- Pain management protocols initiation
