Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome - Non-STEMI
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Significant chest pain with associated symptoms (radiation, shortness of breath, nausea, diaphoresis)
- Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes)
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and treatment

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Myocardial Infarction (Non-STEMI) (high probability)
2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and duration of symptoms)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given lack of tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given lack of specific risk factors)
5. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (less likely given severity and radiation of pain)

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