Initial Assessment

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

1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and rest pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (lower probability, no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (lower probability, no pleuritic pain)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Immediate ECG acquisition and analysis
- Oxygen administration and pain management
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
