Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much about this ECG.
As all parameters are normal.
When T wave inversion is more than 1 mm then it is known as significant t wave abnormality.
And this indicates myocardial ischaemia.
So in your ECG t wave abnormality is nonspecific. So no need to worry for this.
Nonspecific T wave abnormality can be seen in
1. Normal individual
2. Old age
So her ecg us normal, no need to worry for nonspecific t wave abnormality.
