ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is a type of heart attack. Obstruction of blood supply to an area causes the death of the myocardium in this situation. ST-segment in ECG is usually a flat segment, but in case of a heart attack, this segment becomes abnormally elevated. This causes chest pain, discomfort, shortness of breath, etc. Clot-breaking drugs, angioplasty, stent placement, etc., are the treatment modalities.
