what causes st depression on ekg
I'm not a cardiologist, but am a 4th year med student who recently took my EKG class. ST depression in general means subendocardial ischemia, meaning mild ischemia. However, it can also be due to changes in repolarization due to left ventricular hypertrophy depending on which EKG leads the ST depression in found in. So it is plausible that you have some left ventricular hypertrophy as a result of exercise and that is resulting in ST depression.
