Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of acute cardiac event based on symptoms (chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis)
- Time-sensitive condition requiring rapid medical intervention
- Potential for rapid deterioration to life-threatening arrhythmia

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and acute onset)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no pleuritic pain)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring initiation
- Oxygen administration
- Aspirin administration
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization lab

Final Diagnosis
