My daughter is 28, and is frequently having palpitation (pulse rate of 100) even while resting. She was diagnosed with having a small sized heart. Please advise.

Dr. Ziad Mansour Thoracic Surgery
A small sized heart is not a disease.
She might have a hypoplastic left ventricle.
A detailed cardiac ultrasound should be done.
If it is found to be normal, palpitation is caused by an extra-cardiac disorder that could be hyperthyroidism or else, including anxiety.
