Recovering viral myocarditis -smaller areas of hypokinesia each time on mri-carry what risks? are the risks mainly associated with acute myocarditis?

Dilated myocardopath: There is a possibility of dilated myocardopathy. This needs to be followed closely as decreased cardiac output could occur and congestive heart failure could occur.

Acute vs long term: A myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, often triggered by a virus, but not always. In an early myocarditis the muscle could fail with a fatal result.If you are recovering this puts you into the better outcome category.The heart muscle can heal up to a certain level and meds can help it along.Your level of function can be very good or less so.Only time will tell.
