Subject: heart disease?
Question: its a kinda of heart disease that sometimes causes irregular heart beat and has some air in the heart???? what is the name of that disease again?

you could be talking about a heart murmur.-- That causes irregular heart beat, not sure about air in the heart. never heard of that before.

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart beat. There is no "air" ever in your heart. The red blood cells carry the oxygen. Your lungs are not hooked into your circulatory system so there is no way free air can get into your bloodstream.
Arrhythmias are disorders of the heart's regular rhythmic beating. If the condition is bad a patient usually needs a defibrillator or a pacemaker depending on the problem. Recently though there have been a lot of problems with defibrillators and pacemakers, Medtronic and Guidant recalled thousands of defective defibrillators a few years ago. Recently Medtronic recalled defibrillator leads, which connect a defibrillator or pacemaker to the heart.
