Hi,

There is no specific treatment for above mentioned conditions.
The underlying cause should be treated. For that your father need more examination to find out what has lead to ECG abnormalities.
If he had chest pain, then angiography is needed to rule out coronary artery disease. There is a need for echocardiography as ECG alone is not enough sensitive to detect left ventricular hypertrophy. Also he need blood pressure monitoring and blood tests.

Hope I could help you

Wishing a good health to your father
