Infants and children should have a more rapid heart rate, instead of a decreased heart rate, until about age 8 years. Common cardiovascular findings include visible pulsation if the chest wall is thin, sinus dysrhythmia (the rate increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration), and the presence of an S heart sound. |
