Jonde does not exist; it can only be a typo for "Onde"

I guess this text has suffered OCR ill-treatment
Jonde does not exist in a EKG but the R wave does.
A figure could be missing in front of mm, hence ST depression of "n" mm, sloping (now can't say up or downsloping, though I would say "downsloping)

agree Josephine Billet : aboslutely, I can't think, of anything else MM could stand for in this context, and jonde has to be onde.

Just a suggestion:

The phrase could be "sous-décalage # MM en pente", where # is the number of millimeters (mm) of the ST segment depression.

"En pente" should mean that the ST segment is not orizontal but either upsloping or downsloping.

See e.g. http://www.ahcpub.com/ahc_root_html/Thrombolysis/ecg_glossar...

I agree with Hervé: JONDE seems a typo.
