Split Heartbeat in 3 Year Old?

I have not heard of that but just wanted to mention my daughter was born with a heart condition. It would go from a normal rate up to 280 and back again, like her heart was confused. Common in older folks, not so much newborns. I didn't see her until she was 2 days old. It was VERY scary. Ends up they put her on adult meds for 6 months and it worked and hasn't had a problem since. She's 15 now.

So just go get it looked at. Good thing the doc caught it and you can address it. I hope everything works out. Good luck.

Is that different than a heart murmur?

I've heard of that.

Never heard of a split though.

I hope you can hear from other sources that it isn't troublesome.

I've not heard of a split hearbeat. I googled it and found information on Wikipedia for a split heartbeat T'S 2. There are several different kinds of splits. Google also listed an answer available on Yahoo! Answers. The answers say it's a condition is caused by the valves not firing in the correct order or one not opening enough causing an arrhythmia. I understand this is treated with medication. It is suggested that some children outgrow the condition. What sort of split is diagnosed with a EKG.

Other articles were listed when I googled.
