Patient's question:
My boyfriend is 27 years old this year. Recently, he had a cold and fever, and the doctor diagnosed it as myocarditis. Hello, will myocarditis be inherited from generation to generation to the next generation?Doctor's answer:
First, I want to tell you that cardiomyopathy will never, ever be passed on to the next generation. This disease has nothing to do with hereditary transmission across generations. The vast majority of cardiomyopathy is caused by viruses. Prevention work involves colds, as a second cold can lead to a recurrence of cardiomyopathy. Some people with this disease may have sequelae. If they have sequelae, their training ability will be limited, and their expected lifespan will be disrupted. They will also need long-term treatment in the later stages. Cardiomyopathy patients should rest for at least 3 to 6 months, and those with heart enlargement should rest for at least more than a year, while physical exercise should be avoided. Enhancing the patient's nutrition and ensuring adequate protein intake helps the heart to recover completely.
