AN ACR CREW DIVERTS BECAUSE OF A PAX WITH CHEST PAINS.

Narrative

120 NM E OF FLL; THE FLT ATTENDANTS CALLED AND TOLD US THAT A PAX WAS HAVING CHEST PAINS AND THAT THEY WERE PULLING OUT THE AED. THERE WAS A DOCTOR ONBOARD AND HE WAS ASSISTING THEM. A COUPLE OF MINS LATER; THEY CALLED US BACK AND TOLD US THAT HE WAS GETTING WORSE. THE CAPT DETERMINED TO DIVERT TO MIA AND WE ADVISED DISPATCH VIA ACARS AND WORKED THE DIVERT WITH ZMA. AN EMER WAS DECLARED AND WE RECEIVED PRIORITY HANDLING INTO MIA. WE CONTACTED MIA OPS WHEN IN RADIO RANGE AND COORDINATED OUR ARR. THE FLT ATTENDANTS ADVISED US THAT THE PAX'S BLOOD PRESSURE WAS DROPPING RAPIDLY AND THE DOCTOR ADVISED TO GET ON THE GND AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD. AS A RESULT; WE REMAINED AT 320 KTS UNTIL WE WERE AT 6000 FT AND 15 MI FROM MIA. WE THEN SLOWED AND CONTINUED TO SLOW TO ALLOW US TO CONFIGURE AND SHOOT THE APCH. I MUST COMMEND THE ACTIONS OF THE FLT ATTENDANTS FOR THEIR WORK IN THE BACK AS WELL AS THE EXCELLENT COORD WITH US THE PLTS. ZMA; APCH; TWR AND OPS WERE FANTASTIC AND THIS ENTIRE PROCESS WORKED THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE. WHEN WE LANDED; PARAMEDICS WERE THERE TO MEET THE ACFT AND THE PAX WAS TAKEN OFF THE AIRPLANE STILL BREATHING AND LOOKING RELATIVELY WELL FOR HIS CONDITION. WE GOT HIM TO MIA ALIVE DUE TO GREAT OP OF THE ENTIRE SYS.
