Hi,
My sister in law has been diagnosed with myocarditis after she suffered a viral infection.
The infection was very severe and as a result suffered multiple heart failures.
She has been in ICU since and after 5 weeks (today) is clinically stable (term used by the doctors) but not improving significantly.
The doctors are not able to say whether she will suffer from more heart failures or not at this stage and are opting to keep her under observation and medication.
My questions are;
1. What are her chances of recovering given her condition of myocarditis was fairly severe?
2. If she is stable for a while longer and the doctors decide to send her back home, are there chances that she may suffer another heart failure?
3. Are there any other options to help the heart get back to normal?
Many thanks for your response(s).
