What is 2mm deep in II,III, AVF in a treadmill test for 60 yearold male?!
Question: Agree with both of the above answers. This would be an abnormal treadmill test, indicating possible decreased oxygen to the inferior part of the heart.

Probably ischemia (lack of oxygen) to the inferior portion of your heart, or insufficient blood flow in your Right Coronary Artery (which supplies that area). Your doctor may order a cardiac catherization to see if you have a blockage there.
Good luck.

As ralphrep indicated, this is most likely a sign of ischemia (lack of oxygen) to the inferior part of the left ventricle, most likely caused by a narrowing of your right coronary artery (the RCA feeds the inferior part of the left ventricle in about 80 to 90% of us, the rest of us have that part of the heart fed by the left coronary artery.
The segment of the EKG he is looking at is the ST segment, which is the part of the EKG that looks at repolarization of the cells in the heart. They look for things like depression or elevation in that segment, below or above the baseline of your EKG.
Leads II, III and aVF happen to look at the inferior aspect of your left ventricle in your heart.
You may end up going for an angiogram to see the extent of the narrowing/blockage and they may decide to do an angioplasty at that time.
