Pediatric Heart Arrhythmias

Pediatric heart arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats in children that can disrupt normal blood flow. They can occur when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or in an uncoordinated manner. While some arrhythmias are harmless and may resolve on their own, others can indicate underlying heart issues that need medical attention. Symptoms may include dizziness, palpitations, or fainting, but some children may not show any signs. Treatment often involves monitoring, medications, or other interventions, depending on the type and severity of the arrhythmia, to ensure the child's heart functions effectively and safely.
