Can newborns recover from a low heart rate?

Whether or not a newborn will recover from a low heart rate is determined by the cause of the low heart rate in the newborn. If there is a congenital heart disease or a congenital family genetic disorder, the newborn will not recover from a low heart rate. If the low heart rate is caused by a cold or lack of qi or immunity, the low heart rate of the newborn will recover and the heart rate can return to normal with active treatment of the primary disease and symptoms. Under normal circumstances, the heart rate of newborns should be around 120 beats per minute, and the heart rate of newborns is relatively fast. If it is lower than 100-120 beats per minute, it means that the heart rate is too low and the cause needs to be found. As newborns are just born outside the mother’s body, they are not well adapted to the external environment, so they need more careful care and feeding from parents, diligent observation of the newborn’s daily life, and timely consultation when abnormalities are detected.
