Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years old. When she sleeps at night, I listen to her heartbeat, which is 88 beats per minute. I want to ask if this is normal?History of treatment and effectiveness: None
What kind of help do I want: I would like to learn more about
Doctor's answer:
A normal heart rate should be 60-100 beats per minute. If it is higher than 60 beats per minute, it is generally referred to as bradycardia, but it does not necessarily indicate a disease. This is because if the heart reserve capacity is strong, the stroke volume per beat will be higher, resulting in a lower heart rate. For example, the heart rate of athletes is usually between 40-50 beats per minute. If there are no special symptoms, it does not need to be addressed. It is commonly seen in children of normal people who exercise frequently, and their heart rate generally does not exceed 100 beats per minute per minute.
