Explanation

"No acute ST-T changes" is a phrase used in medical reports, specifically those related to the heart. It means that there are no sudden or new changes in the heart's electrical activity, as seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG), a test that measures the heart's electrical activity. These changes, if present, could indicate a heart problem such as a heart attack. Therefore, no acute ST-T changes is a good sign, suggesting that the heart is functioning normally at the time of the test.
