Abstract
Palpitations mean the perception of the heartbeat that is usually a cause for concern for
patients. In adults, palpitations occasionally herald serious underlying cardiac events.
However, palpitations in children typically arise from physiologic stimuli, such as fever,
exercise, anxiety, or anaemia rather than life-threatening causes (for example, cardiac
arrhythmia). In addition, children with serious arrhytmia may report no palpitations. The
paper proposes an approach to children with palpitations.
