Elevation of ST segments on an ECG is always indicative of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
True
False
The statement is false because while ST segment elevation on an ECG is a common indicator of STEMI, it is not always exclusively indicative of this condition. ST elevations can occasionally be seen in conditions such as pericarditis or a benign early repolarization pattern in healthy individuals, especially younger adults. Therefore, the elevation of ST segments necessitates a comprehensive clinical evaluation to confirm the diagnosis of STEMI and rule out other conditions.
