The normal heart rate in children by age
One of the most important indicators of the heart of a child, along with blood pressure is heart rate. Heart rate shows how many times per minute the heart muscle is reduced. The pulse in children is constantly measured, since it determines how the baby develops and what is its General condition.
If the heart rate exceeds the norm, the reasons can be the following:
- hot weather;
- physical activity;
- the stressful situation.
In these cases the heart rate can increase three times, while pathology is not. Palpitations in a child may be at rest. The main reasons:
- lack of energy;
- fatigue;
- heart disease;
- endocrine diseases;
- diseases of the respiratory system;
- anemia;
- infectious lesions.
If the pulse is too rare
If you feel normal and no abnormalities found, a low heart rate indicates good fitness.
The measurement algorithm
For the test you will need a watch with a second hand or a stopwatch. The complexity of heart rate is that it is constantly changing. To measure heart rate, you need to find the artery at the wrist, temple or neck, slightly press it with your finger. Under your finger should feel the pulsation of blood. You need to count the number of aftershocks for ten or 15 seconds, then multiply the obtained value, respectively, six or four. Thus, to determine the heart rate, which in most cases is equal to the heart rate. Now compare the resulting figure with the figures in the table, according to age. You should know that normal ripple should be rhythmic and precise.
