Many heart rhythm issues can be lived with, but it does depend on how she feels when she has it, what the cause of the arrhythmia is. Talk to the pediatric cardiologist.
Arrhythmia is a very generic name, it could be very benign and has no consequences or could be a disease that need to be diagnosed and treated. Most abnormal rhythms in young patient are the cause of abnormal tissue in the heart that can be very easily and safely taking care of by catheter ablation and the patient would live an absolute norml life afterwards.
