Hi
Left axis deviation is commonly seen with left ventricular hypertrophy. Also it is a normal variant in obese individuals.
Regarding prolonged QT interval, it can be present in 2.5percent of normal individuals. However it can't be passed out as normal if you are symptomatic like episodes of fainting, palpitations.
Regards
