Your ECG showing longitudinal left axis deviation may indicate certain heart conditions. Further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause and severity. You may need to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In terms of medication, there is no specific drug treatment for longitudinal left axis deviation itself.

I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and have been on Cordarone 100 mg since then. Over the last month and a half, my heart rate has been consistently between 60-65 bpm. Is this a normal range or should I get it checked by my cardiologist?

A heart rate consistently between 60-65 bpm is generally considered within the normal range for adults, but it's crucial to consider your specific situation. Since you have a history of MVR surgery and are on Cordarone, it's recommended to consult with your cardiologist for their specific recommendations based on your individual health profile.
