Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:

- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and intervention
- Potential for life-threatening complications

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity of pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no risk factors reported)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Oxygen administration
- Aspirin administration
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
