The ST measurement for each beat complex is the ventical difference between two
measurement points. The isoelectric point provides the baseline for the measurement and the
ST point provides the other measurement point.

Figure 11-10 ST Measurement Point
The ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the
patient’s heart rate or ECG morphology changes siginificantly. Artifactual ST segment
depression or elevation may occur if the ISO or the ST point is incorrectly set.
NOTE

Abnormal QRS complex is not considered in ST analysis.
