A member asked:
Does myocarditis always left some scars in one's heart? it is possible to live normal, sporty, health and long life with scarred hearth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always scars: a cardiac MRI can tell you how much of the heart (if any) has permanent damage/scarring - this can guide prognosis (what we can predict about your future). if there is not much damage often one can recover to normal activity and longevity.

I jog 30km a week. 6 months after running, I started experiencing PVCs. Only felt a few in my life prior. Two cardiologists have cleared me OK with monitoring and lab work. Did I harm or scar my heart from running too much too quickly from the start?
