Cardiac dysrhythmias during childhood are not infrequent. Often they are found in otherwise healthy children, sometimes in connection with myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects or after cardiac surgery. Cardiac dysrhythmias may be subdivided in bradydysrhythmias (sinuatrial block, sinus arrest, atrioventricular block) and tachydysrhythmias (supraventricular extrasystoles, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, ventricular extrasystoles, and ventricular tachycardia). Frequently, cardiac dysrhythmias in children do not need treatment; in other cases, treatment is necessary and effective while for some cases a satisfactory treatment is not available at present.
儿童期心律失常并不罕见。它们常出现在其他方面健康的儿童中，有时与心肌炎、心肌病、先天性心脏缺陷有关，或发生在心脏手术后。心律失常可分为缓慢性心律失常（窦性阻滞、窦性停搏、房室阻滞）和快速性心律失常（室上性期前收缩、室上性心动过速、心房扑动、心房颤动、室性期前收缩和室性心动过速）。儿童心律失常通常无需治疗；在其他情况下，治疗是必要且有效的，而目前有些病例尚无令人满意的治疗方法。
