Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) - Possible Myocardial Infarction
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of cardiac event based on symptoms (severe chest pain, radiation, shortness of breath, diaphoresis)
- Patient has multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (likely)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain reported)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no specific risk factors or sudden onset of severe dyspnea)
5. Pericarditis (less likely, no pleuritic chest pain)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Rapid ECG acquisition and interpretation
- Oxygen administration if needed
- Aspirin administration if not contraindicated
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
