A member asked:
If i had a normal ekg&echo am i still at risk of developing myocarditis with a viral infection?

Myocarditis: Risk of getting myocarditis with most viral infections is low. A normal heart has only slightly less risk of involvement than an abnormal one.

Yes: These tests are not accurate to detect myocarditis, unfortunately. You need explore further with a good cardiologist knowledgeable on the topic...Good luck!
