Initial Assessment

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

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and sudden onset)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given lack of tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given lack of pleuritic pain)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and associated symptoms)

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