Hi,
Welcome.
Fast heart beat can be because of a many causes. The exact diagnosis depend on the ECG taken at the time when heart rate is high.
If the heart beat is abnormal their are two methods to treat it. One by giving medicine throughout life and other by a procedure called EP Study and radio frequency ablation.
Both can be done on her
Thanks
