Diagnostics

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 radiating to left arm and jaw, diaphoresis, and shortness of breath.
- Patient has risk factors including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and family history of heart disease.
- Time-sensitive condition requiring rapid medical intervention.

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity of pain and diaphoresis)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no sudden pleuritic pain)
5. Esophageal Spasm (less likely, pain pattern not typical)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Cardiac monitoring and ECG acquisition
- Oxygen administration and IV access
- Aspirin administration (if not already taken)
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization capabilities
