Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (Non-STEMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of cardiac event based on classic symptoms: chest pain, radiation, diaphoresis, shortness of breath
- Patient has risk factors for coronary artery disease (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes)
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and treatment to prevent myocardial infarction

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Coronary Syndrome (high probability)
2. Angina (less likely due to severity and duration)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given no pleuritic pain)
5. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (less likely given radiation and diaphoresis)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring
- Oxygen administration
- Aspirin administration (if not contraindicated)
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
