Patient's question:
The child is 15 years old. This August, she went to the swimming pool to ice skate and fell from a height. She said she felt very painful and had a sense of internal injury at the time. Later, when she went home, she said she was fine. The day before yesterday, during a health check-up, it was found that her heart rhythm was irregular.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you mentioned that you have previously been injured, and your heart rate irregularity during the health check is not a problem. Many children have similar issues, so there's no need to worry excessively. If the child shows no symptoms of discomfort, careful observation is sufficient. Arrhythmia is generally not clearly related to trauma, and the connection should not be significant. If you still feel concerned, you can visit the cardiology department for a follow-up. You can have an enzyme test to rule out myocarditis caused by incomplete scarring after a cold. If necessary, a detailed echocardiogram can be performed.
