Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is a girl, 11 to 18 years old. She has ventricular premature beats, sinus tachycardia, and some changes in T waves. A month ago, she had an RF ablation surgery. Now, the detailed examination results show that the premature beats are gone, but there is still sinus tachycardia and some changes in T waves. Is it better or not? The echocardiogram of the heart is normal.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, according to your description, radiofrequency ablation was performed for premature ventricular contractions, and the premature beats disappeared, proving the surgery was successful. The heart rate for this age range is 60 to 100 beats, and the child's heart rate is 99 beats, which is at the upper limit of the normal range. It is recommended to carefully monitor the situation. It is best to let the child rest for more than ten minutes before counting the heart rate. If there are no symptoms, you can wait and see. Is the child's thyroid function normal?
