Medical - Medical (general) / ECG results
Italian term or phrase: ST rigido
This expression comes up in a report of an ECG done on a patient who underwent multiple coronary angioplasties and stent placement procedures.

In a section that describes a series of ECGs that were done on this patient, the report says:

"RS 68/min. ST rigido in D1, D2 aVL e V5 V6"

It would be simple ... but incorrect, I think ... to just translate this as "rigid ST" (or maybe "rigid ST segment"), since I only find two examples of "rigid ST segment" in a Google search.

What's the standard/correct way to say this in English?

Thanks again for your help.
