Is there a posibility that it was a virus that affected the heart? Hea was told that the legs wre not functioning because the heart was not pumping correctly

Heart virus usually refers to myocarditis, or an inflammatory condition of the heart muscle caused by a viral infection. In most cases this is an asymptomatic condition and many of us go through it at least once. Some individuals, however, have a more pronounced inflammatory response which leads to heart damage and subsequent heart failure. Of those people only a few recover their heart function. Heart failure may be a very debilitating potentially leading to all those complications that you mentioned, but leg weakness isn't typical. I am wondering if there was something else going on.
Was it endocarditis ?
