Heart rate at 5 years old

In modern life, people's physical health is affected by various factors, which leads to many people suffering from some malignant diseases. For example, heart disease is one of the most influential diseases, which often poses a lifelong threat to patients. Heart problems are mostly congenital. For example, children are a high-risk group for heart disease. Heart disease has a great impact on heart rate. Let's take a look at the heart rate of 5-year-olds.

Every time the heart beats, the left ventricle ejects blood into the aorta. The blood is then transported to all parts of the body through the aorta for blood circulation, eliminating carbon dioxide and waste from the body and inputting oxygen and nutrients to ensure the body's metabolism.

The average heart rate for 5-6 year olds is about 100 beats/minute. The heart rate will increase during physical activity and mental excitement. It will gradually decrease with age and can be reduced to 70 beats/minute after 8 years old.

For children of this age, the heart rate is 140 beats/minute, which is fast, and heart problems need to be considered. Common ones include supraventricular tachycardia, which requires an electrocardiogram or 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram; endocardial fibroelastosis, etc., which requires a cardiac color ultrasound examination.

Children have a faster heart rate, mainly because their metabolism is vigorous and their body tissues need more blood supply. However, the amount of blood pumped by the heart each time remains relatively unchanged, and the need can only be met by increasing the number of heartbeats.

The normal heart rate of a 5-year-old child is between 65-105 beats, which is generally not hereditary. If you are worried, you can take your child to the hospital for an electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, cardiac ultrasound, blood routine, blood sugar, blood lipids, electrolytes, and thyroid function check, and treat the symptoms based on the test results. For details, consult the relevant department of the local hospital.

Children's arrhythmia often occurs on the basis of organic heart disease, and the most common heart disease is congenital heart disease. In addition to taking antiarrhythmic drugs, treatment should also be directed at the underlying disease and its inducing causes. This situation can be treated surgically, and radiofrequency ablation can be used depending on the condition. You can go to a regular hospital or a tertiary-level A hospital for examination and treatment based on the cause of the condition.
