ST Explanation: ST - S-T-Strecke = S-T segment (ST segment) The ST segment indicates the amount of time from the end of the contraction of the ventricles to the beginning of the "T wave". http://www.yalemedicalgroup.org/stw/Page.asp?PageID=STW02286... S-T segment, an isoelectric line after the QRS complex on the electrocardiogram. It represents phase 2 of the cardiac action potential. Elevation or depression of the S-T segment is the hallmark of myocardial ischemia or injury and coronary artery disease. http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/S-T segment In electrocardiography, the ST segment connects the QRS complex and the T wave and has a duration of 0.08 to 0.12 sec (80 to 120 ms). It starts at the J point (junction between the QRS complex and ST segment) and ends at the beginning of the T wave. However, since it is usually difficult to determine exactly where the ST segment ends and the T wave begins, the relationship between the RT segment and T wave should be examined together. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_segment -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2012-02-20 11:16:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reading the question again, I am not so sure re. "ST segment" without more context. |
