Children should be screened for heart problems with an electrocardiogram before taking drugs such as Ritalin to treat hyperactivity and attention-defecit disorder according to the American Heart Association. Children already on the drugs should also be tested. Stimulants can increase blood pressure and heart rate which for most children isn’t a problem. But for those with heart conditions, it could make them more vulnerable to sudden cardiac arrest - an erratic heartbeat that causes the organ to stop pumping blood through the body - and other heart problems.
