I am a 60 year old male with diabetes and have recently had an ECG done. The ECG mentions thre Sinus Rhythm as normal P axis, V tsyr 50-99 but says Borderline left axis deviation QRS axis (-15, -29). What does this mean and what is the level of risk? I exercise on treadmill and can I continue doing that? thanks for your help. Krishnan
