Hi welcome to HCM.
Cardiac conduction disturbances in terms of flow of sodium ions in abnormal ,reversed pattern is noted on ECG post bundle branch blocks and myocardial infarcts.The infarct area is permanently in state of depolarization,which causes surrounding areas of the precordium to be repolarised due electric gradient.This causes inverted T waves to appear on ecg.Involvement of the septum area is termed as Septal infarct.This causes vector analysis to point in left axis deviation.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you.
