Patient's question:
The child is four and a half years old. A few days ago, due to excessive phlegm, the doctor recommended having the child's heart listened to. The doctor found abnormal sounds and suggested an electrocardiogram (ECG). The results showed sinus arrhythmia, but the child doesn't feel any discomfort. Is there any further examination needed? I looked up and found that there are both physiological and pathological cases. How can they be differentiated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child can be diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia. Because the doctor heard a murmur in the child's heart. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an echocardiogram to confirm whether there is a possibility of valve insufficiency or congenital heart disease, whether physiological or pathological, it needs to be diagnosed. The above is the suggestion for the question "What tests are still needed for a 4.5-year-old child with arrhythmia?", hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
