ANSWER
The ECG shows normal sinus rhythm and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). LVH is indicated by high voltages in limb leads I and III (sum of R and S waves in leads I and III ≥ 25 mm) or in precordial leads V1, V5, and/or V6 (sum of V1 and either V5 or V6 ≥ 35 mm).

Subsequent work-up, including echocardiography and genetic testing, revealed a familial LVH.
