sinus rhythm is normal.
PVCs are premature beats from the lower chamber of the heart. The significant of PVCs depending on the underlying condition of the heart.
Non specific T waves is a very generic statement. It does not mean much in the setting of an EKG interpretation from the machine. It really has to be interpreted in context to why the EKG was done and the underlying risk factors. I cannot assess whether he needs immediate medical attention over the internet, but but is worth discussing the EKG with his doctor.
