Hello,
Such findings may indicate various conditions. The most acute one is ischemia. The electrocardiogram itself is not sufficient to confirm or exclude it. A compatible clinical syndrome and positive blood tests are required.
The most likely cause is either uncontrolled hypertension and/or heart muscle hypertrophy. An echo of the heart would make things more clear.
In any case you should consult your cardiologist because any single test is not enough to establish the diagnosis.
Kind regards!
