What Causes Chest Pain In A Child?
My 5-year-old daughter complained of chest pains and a GP ordered an ECG to investigate. The result was abnormal - ectopic atrial rhythm; marked high-lateral depolarisation disturbance; large negative T in I aVL . We have a paediatrician appointment next week but it would be nice to better understand this. Should I stop her from running in the school cross country event, which is prior to the paediatrician appointment? - Thanks in advance

Hello,
I would explain that her symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia or a congential cardiac defect.
For this reason, I would recommend avoiding straining physical activity until consulting with her doctor.
A cardiac ultrasound and thyroid hormone levels are needed to investigate for the possible causes underlying these ECG findings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
