I had an ECG done yesterday, and the report said there's a long left axis deviation. Can you explain what that means? I've attached the ECG for you to check.

Long left axis deviation on an ECG can indicate various underlying conditions such as heart enlargement, high blood pressure, or conduction abnormalities. It is important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, further evaluation such as an echocardiogram may be needed. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a detailed evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm looking at my mom's ECG and echo reports, and I'm kind of worried. The ECG mentions poor R wave progression from V1 to V3, and the echo report says she has grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. I'm not sure what that means. The thing is, she doesn't have any heart issue symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Could you help me understand what these findings imply?
