Why do people die suddenly from myocarditis without knowing something wrong?

Severe damage: Sudden death can occur if the heart is so damaged that you develop an arrhythmia, it's possible the arrhythmia could cause your heart to suddenly stop beating (sudden cardiac arrest). If not treated immediately, it causes sudden cardiac death.
