Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Classic presentation of AMI with severe chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis, and shortness of breath
- High risk of life-threatening arrhythmia or cardiac arrest
- Time-sensitive condition requiring immediate medical intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely due to severity and duration of symptoms)
3. Aortic Dissection (lower probability, no back pain reported)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (lower probability, no specific risk factors)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Immediate ECG acquisition and interpretation
- Oxygen administration
- Aspirin administration (if no contraindications)
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization facilities
