Is cardiac fibrosis considered structural heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is. Anything that causes an alteration in the structure of the valves, heart muscle leading to symptoms is considered structural heart disease. Cardiac fibrosis is the result of inflammation due to a variety of causes and leads to abnormal function of the heart muscle.
