As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can explain the term STEMI. STEMI stands for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction. It is a critical condition that represents a specific type of heart attack where there is a complete blockage of a coronary artery, which is one of the major arteries that supply oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle. This blockage leads to the death of heart muscle cells, which can be life-threatening.
The term "ST-segment elevation" refers to a specific finding on an electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart. In the context of a STEMI, the ECG will show an abnormal elevation of the ST segment, which is indicative of the heart attack.

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is a very serious type of heart attack during which one of the heart's major arteries (one of the arteries that supplies oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle) is blocked. ST-segment elevation is an abnormality detected on the 12-lead ECG.
