What is a st-wave myocardial infarction?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Various: The st segment is a portion of the electrocardiogram. A myocardial infarction can be described as st elevation myocardial infarction or non-st elevation myocardial infarction depending on the appearance of the electrocardiogram. Management of the 2 types of heart attack are somewhat different.

Heart damage: It refers to an elevation in the wave form of an ekg. The leads (areas of the heart we are looking at on the ekg) that is elevated helps us determine what area of the heart is having difficulty.
