General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.

This is suggestive of heart ventricle hypertrophy and usually this is seen in people with hypertension and some other cardiomiopathies so further tests are required especially if there are symptoms. You should do at least ultrasound and ecg as next step.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
