Are they elevated ?

yes

ST segment is leveled off baseline

(e.g. STEMI, acute pericarditis, bundle branch block)

no

ST segment is at baseline

 
 
 

ST segment is not elevated, but rather shortened. Here, J-point is elevated

(e.g. early repolarization)


Here, J waves (Osborn waves) are seen

(e.g. hypothermia, hypercalcemia)

Are they depressed ?

yes

ST segment is on a level below baseline

(e.g. NSTEMI, ventricular hypertrophy, hypokalemia, digitalis toxicity, stress-induced cardiomyopathy)

no

ST segment is at baseline
