What causes premature heart beats in children?

Many people believe that heart diseases always occur in adults. In fact, this is true. It also happens in children. When children have premature heart beats, parents are very worried and anxious about it. If they want to get the best treatment, parents must know what the children's premature heart beats are so that they can have a basis for treatment.

1: The normal heart rate of an adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute, while the heart rate of infants and young children is generally faster, reaching 180 beats per minute. It is not uncommon for infants and young children to have premature beats, but not all premature beats in infants and young children mean that there is something wrong with their bodies. For many infants and young children, premature beats are physiological, only occur occasionally and the symptoms are not obvious!

2: There are generally two causes of premature beats in infants and young children. One is functional arrhythmia induced by other factors, and the other is heart damage or organic disease caused by surgery. One of the reasons for premature beats in infants and young children is premature beats induced by other factors, such as influenza, diarrhea, etc., which cause shortness of breath and induce premature beats!

3: Infants and young children who cry constantly, lack of sleep, and excessive fatigue can also cause premature beats. Parents do not need to worry too much about premature beats caused by other factors. As long as the causes are eliminated, the baby can generally return to normal.

4: Some children suffer from premature beats due to heart injury during cardiac catheterization or other operations, while others suffer from complications caused by organic heart diseases such as myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc. Parents of such children should be vigilant and actively treat the primary disease, otherwise the condition will worsen.

Whether premature beats need treatment should be distinguished based on the following: First, determine whether they are caused by organic lesions or are functional. If it is caused by functional reasons, there is no need for excessive treatment. Instead, you should focus on adjusting your lifestyle and daily routine, such as drinking less strong tea and coffee, not smoking or drinking, not staying up late, going to bed early and getting up early, and doing appropriate physical exercise. In addition, emotional stability is also a key part of treatment. If the patient feels that the symptoms are obvious, he should seek medical attention in time and take appropriate medication under the guidance of a specialist to relieve the symptoms.
