Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), most likely Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of life-threatening cardiac event based on classic symptoms
- Severe chest pain, radiation, shortness of breath, diaphoresis
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (less likely due to severity of pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no reported back pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given no risk factors)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and radiation)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring initiation
- Oxygen therapy and pain management protocols
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
