As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can explain that ST depression on an ECG, which stands for electrocardiogram, can be caused by several conditions. The ST segment represents the period between the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the T wave, which corresponds to the time when the ventricles are depolarized and repolarizing. ST depression is a deviation of the ST segment below the baseline, and it can be indicative of various cardiac issues. **

Other ischemic heart diseases causing ST depression include: Subendocardial ischemia or even infarction. Subendocardial means non full thickness ischemia. In contrast, ST elevation is transmural (or full thickness) ischemia.
