He was not feeling well recently but the heart issues arose earlier.

Rich Peverley, one of the Stars' new centermen acquired this offseason, is going to miss the rest of training camp and perhaps the beginning of the season. Thankfully, that's all he'll miss.
The Stars announced on Friday that Peverley is going to be out for three weeks after having a procedur to fix an irregular heartbeat. The issue was discovered in the pre-camp physical he took on Wednesday and has since been taken care of.
"We sent him to a specialist and it ended up he had an A-fib condition [atrial fibrillation], which is where the heart gets out of rhythm," Stars GM Jim Nill said. "He had a procedure done. He's going to be out for three weeks and should be available close to the start of the season, might miss one or two games."
