EKG Showed Right Axis-right Ventricular Hypertrophy And T-axis 47 Abnormal. On Medication For Cholesterol And Aspirin. Explain

Hello. My husband is 52, of normal weight, bp 128/80, on simvastatin for cholesterol (that is his only prescription drug) and daily 81 mg of aspirin, and vitamins, and fish oil capsules daily. He just had his first EKG today, at my request, because his mother died in her early fifties of heart disease, and I wanted to make sure he is ok. The results, which our doc says she wants to analyze further and get back to us, said he has "right axis-consider right ventricular hypertrophy", and also "T-axis- 47-abnormal". This sounds worrying, and the bit of research I have done online since coming home from the the doc's office shows me that it could be either that he was born with it, or, gosh, I don't know. I was hoping you could shed some light, until we can find out more. Just basic stuff. Thanks ever so much.

the basic thing is walls of ventricles are increased in thickness
yes it can be there since birth as he has no problems till now
but i may get you informed that the vitamins abnd other suppliments can also cause this
as you search net for latest studies it is concluded now that these additions are silent killers and should not be taken
dit is enough to get vitamins
there are latest news in feb 2013 that fedral panel recommends against taking these things
i think you can search easily and withdraw as this can also be one of the causes
I find this answer helpful
