A member asked:

How many cases of myocarditis occur a year ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Howard Feinberg answered

Varies : The actual number varies by country and age. We believe there are many cases which are never identified and go away on their own. The best estimate I have seen is 1 case a year for every 10,000 people.
