A member asked:

Is an irregular heartbeat considered a heart disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If the irregular heart beat is due to sporadic premature beats and the heart is structurally normal, that kind of irregularity is present in all normal hearts and not considered a heart disease. On the other hand, if you have atrial fibrillation (for example), that is considered a heart disease.
