Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

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

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and new onset)
3. Pulmonary Embolism (lower probability, no reported risk factors)
4. Aortic Dissection (lower probability, no reported back pain)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Immediate initiation of cardiac protocols
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Administration of aspirin and oxygen
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization lab
