hi
THe heart rate between 75 to 90 is almost in normal range and do not need for down regulation. there are no specific physical disabilities your child is prone to however he can't play or take part in physical activities like normal children and may have weak physic but can be have normal body functions. if managed properly. several complication can be avoided
Thanks
