We also suspect she has atrial fib because her heart rate is not only fast, but irregular at times. She has been referred to a pediatric cardiologist for further evaluation, but I don't even know where to begin to ask questions. Any help would be appreciated. AND whenever the doctor offers any treatment ask the for the potential risks and benefits so that you may compare them to say another treatment, or doing nothing at all. I hope you find this information useful.
