Arrythmia: The rate is important , but the interpretation of the rate is more important. Some typical causes can be sick sinus syndrome, atrioventricular tachycardia and or atrial fibrillation. Sounds like you got active data during the test and that is good. Your physician or cardiologist should be able to interpret that and give your daughter a plan to help.
