A member asked:
What are the preemptive problems on the pulse rate 124 to a 84 yrs. old patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suspicious: I'd be suspicious that an 84 yo has atrial fibrillation. At any rate, someone that age is not likely to tolerate the fast heart rate for long, so they need medical attention if the rapid hr is persistent.
