Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of a life-threatening cardiac event based on classic symptoms (chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis, shortness of breath)
- Time-sensitive condition requiring rapid intervention to minimize cardiac damage
- Patient's history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia increases risk

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity of pain and diaphoresis)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given lack of tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given absence of pleuritic pain and recent risk factors)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Initiate cardiac monitoring and oxygen administration
- Prepare for possible cardiac arrest
- Transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization capabilities

Final Diagnosis
