Dr. Andrew Lawrence answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Monitor: The best way to diagnose an arrhythmia is to record it. If your child is old enough, a heart monitor can be prescribed by your pediatrician. That's one of the first steps. Eventually it may be reasonable to see a pediatric electrophysiologist.
