Mgt: Is the child having any symptoms such as shortness of breath? I would suggest a cardiac echo, chest x ray and holter.

Hard to say: The listed pulse is well within the normal range for a 13 yo, depending on state of rest/activity. Without a full history and exam any commentary would be speculation. The person arranging the initial tests would be in the best position to know whether or if further studies are needed.
