In pediatrics, the normal heart rates are:
Infant: 100-160 bpm
Toddler: 90-150 bpm
Preschooler: 80-140 bpm
School-age: 70-120 bpm
If the heart rate goes below the normal range, this is already called Bradycardia.
Note that a drop in heart rate may still be considered normal if the heart rate returns to normal within five to 10 seconds without any aid.
