If the coronary artery is partially blocked by clot, blood flow decreases but does not stop. Only part of the heart muscle is damaged and ST-segment elevation is not seen on the ECG [electrocardiogram]. This is called a "non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction" or "non-STEMI heart attack". 3, record 1, English, - non%26ndash%3BST%2Dsegment%20elevation%20myocardial%20infarction

Si l’artère coronaire est partiellement obstruée par un caillot, la circulation sanguine diminue sans s’interrompre. Seule une partie du muscle cardiaque est endommagée, et l’ECG [électrocardiogramme] n’affiche aucune élévation du segment ST. Il s’agit là d’un infarctus du myocarde sans élévation du segment ST, ou crise cardiaque sans STEMI. 3, record 1, French, - infarctus%20du%20myocarde%20sans%20%C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20du%20segment%20ST
