A member asked:
Can a viral infection can lead to myocardial infarction and/or any other serious consequence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral Myocarditis: Viral myocarditis is rare but when it occurs may be fatal in a matter of hours and may require ventricular assist devices as a rescue lifesaving therapy sometimes as a bridge to a heart transplant. Still high mortality risk.
