Comparison between ST depression and elevation in myocardial ischemia diagnosis

According to the theory of the ischemie injury current there is a noticeable ST deviation in ECG of ischemie patient. ST depression has major role in detecting of ischemia. ST elevation is associated to special cases of ischemia or situation after myocardial infarction. In this study we found out that among 101 patients ST elevation was at least as good as ST depression in diagnosing ischemia. Even after exclusion of infarction patients the situation was the same. Using Mest we found out that observing ST elevation there was statistically significant difference between non-ischemic and ischemie patients but not in the case of ST depression.
