As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can explain that ST elevation stands for ST segment elevation. The ST segment is a specific part of the EKG (electrocardiogram) tracing, which is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. When there is damage to the heart muscle due to a blockage in a coronary artery, the ST segment may show an elevation, which can be a sign of a type of heart attack known as an **ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)**.

NSTEMI stands for Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Sometimes an NSTEMI is known as a non-STEMI. A myocardial infarction is the medical term for a heart attack. ST refers to the ST segment, which is part of the EKG heart tracing used to diagnose a heart attack.
