Hi,
When did the problem start? What was the heart rate reordered? Is it consistently high or only episodic? Any symptoms like exercise intolerance (while running/playing), dyspnea? Is he on any regular drugs?
Common causes of consistently increased heart rate in children are anemia, drugs like thyroxine or sympathomimetics , congenital heart diseases and arrhythmias like SVT (supra ventricular tachycardia).
Among the reports mentioned, the only thing significant in this context is an increased broncho vascular markings on chest X-ray.This suggests increased blood blow through lungs, that can be seen in some congenital heart diseases or cardiac failure. But we need to consider any symptoms and clinical findings also. Your doctor will discuss in details.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
