He describes it as an 8 out of 10 in intensity and says it radiates to his left arm. He has never experienced chest pain like this before. He has no history of cardiovascular disease, and his last physical examination was six months ago, which revealed normal vital signs and blood work. He denies shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, sweating, or dizziness. He took two aspirins before coming to the clinic.

O.
Vital Signs: Blood pressure 150/90 mmHg, heart rate 100 bpm, respiratory rate 20 breaths per minute, oxygen saturation 99% on room air, temperature 98.6°F (37°C).
Physical Examination: Heart: regular rhythm without murmur or gallop. Lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally. Abdomen: soft, non-tender, non-distended with no organomegaly or masses. No peripheral edema or cyanosis noted. Chest X-ray ordered.
Diagnostic tests: ECG shows ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF.
A.
RM presents with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. The ECG results confirm the diagnosis of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Given his risk factors and presentation, the patient requires immediate reperfusion therapy.
P.
The patient was transferred immediately to the nearest emergency department for further evaluation and treatment. Intravenous nitroglycerin and heparin were initiated during transport. Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor should be started as soon as possible. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred reperfusion strategy and should be performed within 90 minutes of arrival to the hospital, if feasible. If PCI is not available within this timeframe, fibrinolytic therapy may be considered. The patient’s vital signs should be closely monitored, and he should be placed on continuous cardiac monitoring. Pain management should be provided with intravenous opioids as needed. The patient should also receive oxygen therapy to maintain oxygen saturation above 94%. Consultation with a cardiologist and prompt transfer to a tertiary care center may be necessary. Education on lifestyle modifications, such as smoking cessation, regular exercise, and a heart-healthy diet, should also be provided to the patient and his family.
