In leads V1-2, the ST segment is elevated, which begins from the top of the R' wave and is downsloping, ending with an inverted T wave. These findings are characteristic of the Brugada ECG pattern.

While outcomes for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction has significantly decreased over the last years, patients presenting with non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS ...

Acute myocardial infarction with or without ST-segment elevation (STEMI or non-STEMI) is a common cardiac emergency, with the potential for substantial morbidity and mortality. The management of ...

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective in opening the infarct-related artery in patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. However, the embolization of at ...

Now, “high lateral” MIs with ST segment elevation in the limb leads I and aVL can show reciprocal ST segment depression in leads II, III and aVF. Here is some more terminology.

The ST segment normally remains isoelectric, thus ST segment depression or ST segment elevation can indicate cardiac pathology.

Many patients who die from coronary heart disease have ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. The optimum timing and method of reperfusion therapy, however, still need clarification. This ...

Due to ST-segment elevation in the leads V3–V6 and persistent symptoms, immediate coronary angiography was performed (Figure 1A). It showed significant stenosis of the mid-left anterior descending ...

An elevated ST segment seen on an electrocardiogram indicates that a relatively large amount of heart muscle damage is occurring, and is what gives this type of heart attack its name.

European Society of Cardiology (ESC) treatment guidelines for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome are published online today in European Heart Journal, and on the ESC website.
