hi,
It is impossible to tell whether it is normal or abnormal, based on the interpretation given by the machine (extract), as it is case to case based.
late transition and abnormal progression are seen both in normal and diseased individuals. it all depends on what other symptoms and diseases the patient have.
if he has no health issues, his ECG may be considered normal; however this is best confirmed by your cardiologist.
All the best.
