ST elevation on EKG.?!


Question: ST elevation on EKG.?
I came out of the ER last night with High ST elevation on My EKG and it was sitting on high ST for quite sometime. It wasnt an MI but the doctors didnt say what else it could be. Would anyone have some information on what else causes ST elevation on an EKG.

Much apprecated

Left Bundle-Branch Block
