Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
IN ABSENCE OF OTHER detail history like diabetes , hypertension or past history of heart attack , i can comment that left ventricular hypertrophy may be age related or due to hypertension , some axis deviation with t wave changes may occure due to hemiblock on ECG or may be due to ischemia ,
it is best to consult your cardiologist and do some more test like 2 D Echo and serial ECGs and get evaluated further ,
take care
