Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) / Myocardial Infarction
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of significant cardiac event based on symptoms
- Severe chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis, shortness of breath
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (likely, but potentially progressing to MI)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no specific risk factors)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given the severity and associated symptoms)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and analysis
- Oxygen administration
- Aspirin administration
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiology services

Final Diagnosis
