As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can explain that ST elevation is a term used in the interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs). It refers to the elevation of the ST segment above the baseline, which is typically indicative of certain cardiac conditions.

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.
