View allI'm a bit concerned because my ECG results mention something called longitudinal left axis deviation. Is this a serious issue, and do you think I need any further tests or investigations?
Your ECG showing longitudinal left axis deviation may indicate certain heart conditions. Further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause and severity. You may need to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In terms of medication, there is no specific drug treatment for longitudinal left axis deviation itself.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?
