X,ray was taken for Left Axix Deviation. The report says Quote"

Bilateral prominant vascular markings with peribronchial cuffings.

Calcified foci in both lung fields. No active lesion is seen.

Domes of diaphragm show normal shape & position

Pleural spaces are clear.

Cardac size appeared normal.

Left axis deviation in ECG means there is more electrical activity in left ventricle due to left ventricular muscle hypertrophy the causes of which are many . In your case there are no serious reasons for this to happen except that you have mild hypertension . I suggest an antihypertensive and statins to reduce LDL levels. Keep up the physical activity , you are doing great . LEFT AXIS DEVIATION IS NORMALLY DUE TO A REASON SO GO FOR A TMT ECHO AND CORONORY ANGIOGRAPHY AFTER CONSULTING A CARDIOLOGIST. In this condition there is a swing of the cardiac axis to the left - ie less than minus 30 degrees. It is usually the result of a left anterior hemiblock rather than to the increased bulk of muscle of the left ventricle. Other causes include:
