One must recall that <strong>ST depression does not localise</strong>, and such ST depression should be assumed to be a reflection of ST elevation in mirror image leads.”</em></p> <p>Buttner, Aslanger: <a href="https://litfl.com/ecg-case-121-2/">ECG Case 121</a></p></blockquote> <hr> <h5 id="st-depression-does-not-localise--what-does-this-mean"><strong>“ST depression does not localise” – what does this mean?</strong></h5> <p>The term “localise” has two relevant interpretations here.</p>
