Possible Complications
Myocarditis may result in considerable heart damage, which is caused by the response of the immune system. If left untreated, it can cause heart failure and many other fatal complications. However, the risk is low as most people with this condition tend to recover and return to normal life. Other complications include issues with heart rate or rhythm, stroke, and heart attack. In some rare cases, a heart transplant might be needed. [4]
