Explain Electrocardiogram Result

The results from an EKG I had done and I am not sure what it all means. here is what the report says:
Rate 70 Sinus Rhythm
PR 168 Probable Left Atrial Abnormality
QRSD 88 Low Voltage In Frontal Leads
QT 441 Borderline T Abnormalities, Inferior Leads
-AXIS-
P 73
QRS 40
T -8

Cardiologist,  's  Response
rate of beating of heart normal 60-100
sinus rhythm-A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm where depolarisation of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node. It is characterised by the presence of correctly oriented P waves on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Sinus rhythm is necessary, but not sufficient, for normal electrical activity within the heart.
Image result for pr interval
In electrocardiography, the PR interval is the period, measured in milliseconds, that extends from the beginning of the P wave (the onset of atrial depolarization) until the beginning of the QRS complex (the onset of ventricular depolarization); it is normally between 120 and 200ms in duration.
Axis is normal you have to stuy vectors for it
inferior leads are leads represnting inferior wal of hear, borderline abnormality is not significant
poor placement of leads can result in low volatafe
