1/ Let’s talk about the ST segment #CardioTwitter.
ST segment normally represents the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization.
Normal ST
✅ Usually isolectric or may vary from 0.5 mm below to 1 mm above isolectric line in L leads.

2/ ST elevation (STE)
ST changes suggesting myocardial injury:
✅ New STE ≥1 mm in all leads other than V2 or V3.
✅ New STE in V2-V3 ≥2 mm in men older than 40 years old and ≥2.5 mm in men younger than 40 years old or ≥1.5 mm in women.
