: A series of rapid heartbeats can occur spontaneously, and may indicate a response to stress, but if this is happening frequently, see a cardiologist for an exam , EKG and other testing. "Atherosclerosis" can be seen in young children (seen with imaging of the aorta and coronary vessels as calcium deposits).
