The electrical heart axis is an average of all depolarizations in the heart. The depolarization wave begins in the right atrium and proceeds to  the left and right ventricle. Because the left ventricle wall is thicker than the right wall, the arrow indicating the direction of the depolarization wave is directed to the left.
