Explanation:
Hello Trudy,

Please have a look at the following links. The second one is about "Abnormalities in the ECG Measurements". According to that article LAD (Left axis deviation) is the correct translation for Linkstyp in your context.

Cheers

horizontal heart


Explanation:
Pschyrembel cross-references Linkstyp to Lagetyp des Herzens: die durch die Projektion der elektrischen Herzachse* in der Frontalebene definierte Position des Herzens im Thorax; entspricht bei normaler Erregungsausbreitung (Normaltyp) ungefähr der anat. Herzachse u. wird durch Dicke u. Ausdehnung des Myokards sowie Erregungsleitungsstörungen* beeinflußt. Die Feststellung des L. d. H. erfolgt durch Ermittlung eines Summenvektors aus den Einzelvektoren der R-Zacken der Extremitätenableitungen (s. Einthoven-Dreieck, Abb.) im sog. Cabrera-Kreis (s. Abb.); der sog. Sagittaltyp (bei dem die Achse nach dorsal, also aus der Frontalebene heraus, verdreht ist) läßt sich in dieser frontalen Projektion nicht zuordnen (s. Tab.). Vgl. Elektrokardiographie, Vektorkardiographie

And from Roche:
Linkstyp
Syn.: Horizontaltyp
im EKG der für den gesunden Erwachsenen (> 40 J.), für den Adipösen mit Zwerchfellhochstand u. für Linksherzhypertrophie charakterist. Positionstyp (dort Abb.): QRS in I u. aVL hoch-pos., in II pos., in III u. aVF biphasisch oder überwiegend neg.; ferner »überdrehter L.« (v.a. bei links-anteriorem Hemiblock, auch bei Linksherzhypertrophie) mit hoch-pos. QRS in I u. aVL u. (tief-)neg. in II, III u. aVF.
E: horizontal heart.

left axis deviation


Explanation:
Left axis deviation is a description of the predominat path of electrical excitation in a heart when evaluating a patients ECG.

Horozontal and right axis deviation can be alternative paths of electrical excitation in the heart.

Always keep in mind that this is simply a description of the special characteristics of a patient's ECG. It does not necessarily state a disease although right axis deviation can often be found in association with heart or chronic lung disease.
