Hello,
A doctor can't say much without seeing the ECG. These changes in T wave might be just from chronic hypertension, or maybe a serious problem like coronary artery disease. I suggest that if your father has any chest pain or difficulty in breathing or other cardiac symptoms to go to a cardiologist. He can see himself the ECG and can make echocardiography to see more things and to give you specific advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regard,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
