Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of life-threatening cardiac event based on symptoms

- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and sudden onset)
3. Pulmonary Embolism (possible, but less likely given primary symptoms)
4. Aortic Dissection (less likely given patient's age and lack of specific risk factors)

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