What Causes High Heart Rate Despite Having A ASD Surgery?

My brother 11 years old, went through asd operation around 9 months back. His heart rate used to be quite high before the operation and we were hoping for it to get normal after operation. But it is still the same even after 9 months. We have not been able to visit doctor for any follow up session after the operation. So, is it normal to have high heart rate this long after the surgery ? If yes, then when and how will it get normal?

Hello,

No, it is not normal as it should have been normal by now. Please undergo echocardiography, and chest x-ray pa view to know about heart function. So please visit a doctor as soon as possible.
