HI welcome to HCM.
Poor r wave progression implies abnormal impulse conduction through the left ventricle in particular.This could result from large variety of cause like hypertension and smoking predominantly.This could be a non specific change as well.Serial EKG monitoring can help to document changes over a time period.A screening 2 dimensional echo can help to rule out organic heart lesions.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
