Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)

2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity of pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no reported tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (lower probability, no sudden onset of shortness of breath)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Administration of aspirin if no contraindications
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization services
