Myocarditis is healable; heart damage isnt. Heart tissue scarring will remain and take away years of your life. "Healing" myocarditis means your heart has stopped scarring and enlarging itself because the threat was over.

What this wants to say is roughly 40% of the cases kept building scars and enlargement after a year, meaning cumulative damage chipping away your years. Personal case; family member had that a decade ago. He was kept in hospital for five days and released. The doctors suspected he had it for a week or so, and probably removed a good year or two from his life.
