Summary

This study follows 50 athletes who had acute myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation) to see how often they develop dangerous heart rhythms. Participants wear a portable ECG monitor and do a treadmill stress test at 3 months and 1 year after their illness. The goal is to learn more about heart risks in active people recovering from myocarditis.
