The second lie from MSM is that myocarditis just clears up, like a rash. In fact it leaves scar tissue. My cardiologist told me that the scar tissue is stiff, displaces useful tissue, and burdens the heart. If bad enough, the remaining muscle can over work, calcify, and lead to cascade failure such as fulminating heart failure . The good…
The second lie from MSM is that myocarditis just clears up, like a rash. In fact it leaves scar tissue. My cardiologist told me that the scar tissue is stiff, displaces useful tissue, and burdens the heart. If bad enough, the remaining muscle can over work, calcify, and lead to cascade failure such as fulminating heart failure . The good news is death comes quickly as your heart tears, balloons, BP drops, and the pain ends in a minute.

For once your cardiologist is telling the truth. Myocarditis causes fibrosis which causes low cardiac output heart failure. Good night nurse.
IDK about quick death... heart failure is pretty uncomfortable if you have to live with it for any length of time.
Yep, with cardiac MRI, 'delayed enhancement' of myocardium is indicative of scarring...non-functioning tissue. 100% correct.
scar tissue likely doesn't produce the electrical field used by the heart to maintain stability, leading to another point of failure.
