Elevated Rt hrt pres: I suppose you are reading the 2D Echo. Without looking at the complete report, it appears that the pressures in the right side of your heart, right ventricle are higher than normal. This is interfering with the movement of the thin membrane that separates the left and right ventricles. Increased pressure need to be evaluated further for the cause, for example pulmonary hypertension.

Abnl septal motion: When the heart contracts, all the left ventricular walls should move together, including the interventricular septum. Abnormal motion of the interventricluar septum is where the interventricluar septum is NOT moving simultaneously with the other left ventricular walls, and can be due to high pulmonary pressures, abnormal electrical conduction through the heart, like left bundle branch block.
