An elevation of the ST segment is associated with:
A) hyperkalemia.
B) left ventricular hypertrophy.
C) slowed conduction through the AV node.
D) myocardial injury.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An elevation of the ST segment is typically associated with myocardial injury, such as during a heart attack or myocarditis. Hyperkalemia can also cause changes in the ST segment, but it typically presents with a tenting or peaked appearance rather than a true elevation. Left ventricular hypertrophy and slowed AV node conduction can cause changes in the QRS complex and PR interval, respectively, but are not typically associated with ST segment elevation.
