1. Minor re polarization means normal variant whereas feminine pattern means ladies are born with some inherent differences in EKG from men which also have no concerns.
2. small negative T in V3 with flat/low negative T in V2: high blood pressure [hypertension] can cause this,and can be due to underlying CAD [coronary artery disease]
3. LV overload requires clinical examination, and probably requires Echocardiography.
4. It is an indication for further investigation like physical examination, followed by HOLTER monitoring, Echocardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) Laboratory work-up – will be necessary for proper assessment and assistance.
