Does ST in medical terms stand for sub type?
In cardiology ST refers to the ST segment of a cardiac cycle which when elevated on an ECG indicates a heart attack (myocardial infarction)
ST and T waves are elements of?
ecg
What does myocardial ischemia look like on an ECG?
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
What does the medical abbreviation NSST mean?
NSST on an ECG stands for non-specific ST, and is usually followed by the word "changes." Non-specific ST changes are alterations in the shape, height, or slope of the ST segment in the ECG that don't point to a particular diagnosis.
What does a heart attack look like on a 12 lead ecg?
ST elevation
What components of the ECG are normally measured along the isoelectric line?
st segments
What would be a patients ecg show with Hypocalcemia?
The ECG of a patient with hypocalcemia will show q number of different distinct patterns. The ECG will show a T wave that is inverted and flattened, a prolongation of the QT interval, a narrowing of the QRS complex, a prolonged ST and ST depression, a reduction in the PR interval, and a prominent U wave.
What was St. Patrick elevated to the rank of?
Patrick was elevated to bishop by Pope Celestine I. After death he was raised to sainthood.
What changes occur to an ECG due to coronary artery disease?
ST elevation in mayocardial infarction & st depression in ischemic disease
What does the medical abbreviation ST elevation MI mean?
This stands for an ST segment elevated, myocardial infarction. This is a subtype of myocardial infarcation aka a heart attack whereby the heart does not receive sufficient oxygen, commonly due to a blockage of one of the coronary (heart) arteries leading to heart muscle death. It is named so because on an ECG/EKG, you can characteristically see an elevation developing in the ST segment i.e. the end of electrical depolarisation and ventricular repolarisation over time. This is contrasted with a non-ST elevated MI aka an NSTEMI, also known as unstable angina, that does not show this classical ST elevation.
The portion of the ECG tracing between the QRS complex and the T wave is called the?
ST segment
What is high take off ecg?
it is an elevation of j point, which is the junction between QRS and ST. This elevation makes the ECG looks like ST elevation and might be misinterpreted as AMI. For the proper management of chest pain, please refer to the local guideline.
