Ecg: The ECG records heart electrical activity. That activity has a magnitude and a direction. When the mean electrical direction vector moves to the left of the normal range, we call this left axis deviation. It is often of no pathologic importance. Sometimes, however, it can be caused by abnormalities. You can ask your dr. If it has any abnormal meaning in you.
