Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) - Possible Myocardial Infarction
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of cardiac event based on classic symptoms (chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis, shortness of breath)
- Potential for life-threatening complications if untreated
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and intervention

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

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Immediate cardiac monitoring and ECG acquisition
- Oxygen administration and IV access
- Aspirin administration (if not contraindicated)
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization capabilities
