It is significant if it is more than 1 mm in V5-V6, or 1.5 mm in AVF or III. [citation needed] In a cardiac stress test, an ST depression of at least 1 mm after adenosine administration indicates a reversible ischaemia, while an exercise stress test requires an ST depression of at least 2 mm to significantly indicate reversible ischaemia.

ST elevation ≥1 mm in a lead with a positive QRS complex (i.e.: concordance) - 5 points; concordant ST depression ≥1 mm in lead V1, V2, or V3 - 3 points; ST elevation ≥5 mm in a lead with a negative (discordant) QRS complex - 2 points; ≥3 points = 90% specificity of STEMI (sensitivity of 36%) [2]
Illustration of ST segment elevation and depression The normal ST segment has a slight upward concavity. Flat, downsloping, or depressed ST segments may indicate coronary ischemia. ST elevation may indicate transmural myocardial infarction. An elevation of >1mm and longer than 80 milliseconds following the J-point.
An ST elevation is considered significant if the vertical distance inside the ECG trace and the baseline at a point 0.04 seconds after the J-point is at least 0.1 mV (usually representing 1 mm or 1 small square) in a limb lead or 0.2 mV (2 mm or 2 small squares) in a precordial lead. [2] The baseline is either the PR interval or the TP interval ...
The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/World Health Federation Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for the ECG diagnosis of the ST segment elevation type of acute myocardial infarction require new ST elevation at J point of at least 1mm (0.1 mV) in two contiguous leads with the cut-points: ≥1 mm in all leads ...

A rise must be new in V2 and V3 ≥2 mm (0,2 mV) for males or ≥1.5 mm (0.15 mV) for females or ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) in two other adjacent chest or limb leads. [19] [24] ST elevation is associated with infarction, and may be preceded by changes indicating ischemia, such as ST depression or inversion of the T waves. [87]
ST deviation ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) discordant with QRS polarity, in any lead with max (R|S) voltage ≤6 mm (0.6 mV). The BARCELONA algorithm attained the highest sensitivity (95%), significantly higher ( P <0.01) than Sgarbossa and Modified Sgarbossa rules, as well as the highest negative predictive value (97%), while maintaining 89% specificity .
