German term

ST-Strecke

German to English Medical Medical (general) EKG
ST-Strecke is something measured by an EKG. In this case, the term comes from a medical report on a patient who suffers from coronary heart disease and had a diagnostic stress-EKG test.
Relevant phrase from the report: "...keine ST-Streckensenkung unter Belastung".
In your answer, please also explain what "ST" stands for.
Thanks in advance.
