Abstract

Heart-rhythm disorders and related congenital anomalies in children often remain silent until physical activitybrings on symptoms. We report an 11-year-old girl who experienced her first signs of heart disease only after exertion. Although late detection of such anomalies can sometimes be fatal, careful clinical examination may reveal these conditions early.
