Hello
Thanks for writing to us
Sinus rhythm is normal rhythm of heart.It means sinus node is giving signals at regular intervals.
Right Axis Deviation is a condition in which electrical conduction of the heart has an electrical axis greater than +90°.Slightly right axis is normal in young people.
Mostly it is a benign finding and it is not a diagnosis or disease.
ECHO can be done to rule out enlarged right ventricle which also causes right axis deviation.
Get well soon.
