Clockwise: It means that when you were born, your heart was rotated just a little tiny bit counter-clockwise in your chest. It has NO clinical significance. Doctors report it to prove that they were awake when they were reading EKGs. Forget it!

ECG: Shifted transition zone has little significance, ask your doctor how he thinks it pertains to you.
