2. Unstable Angina (likely, requires further assessment)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, but must be considered)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, but possible)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and radiation)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Administration of oxygen and aspirin (if not contraindicated)
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization lab
