Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) - likely Myocardial Infarction
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of a life-threatening cardiac event based on classic symptoms
- Severe chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis, and shortness of breath indicate potential ACS
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical intervention to minimize myocardial damage

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (high probability)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no reported tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no reported sudden onset of dyspnea without chest pain)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and associated symptoms)

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

Final Diagnosis
