Whether you meant to or not, you're not being hyperbolic in the slightest. Non-fulminant (mild) myocarditis still has a 56% mortality rate on a ten year timeline.
It’s not rocket science. These cardiac problems are old man problems. Once they start, it’s all downhill from there. Follow on mortality and complications are almost certain on a long enough timeline.
So now it’s not just old men who are going to need a lifetime of doctor visits, medication and follow up care to prevent mortality. It’s going to be young adults and 20 year olds.
When you give a 20 year old the heart of a 65 year old man with advanced coronary artery degradation, you get the same results.
Give it 5-10 years. All these people with “mild” carditis are going to end up dead of congestive heart failure.
Not just CHF, really take your pick of underlying cause for the cardiac episodes. Myo/pericarditis causes heart muscle to be squeezed against the pericardium; ten pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack analogy. That causes ischemia in the muscle and (hopefully not) nervous tissues of the heart. Even after blood flow comes back, the tissues don't regenerate. They turn into scar tissue that doesn't contract or conduct electricity. So not only are they giving them the heart of a geriatric with CAD, it's a geriatric with CAD who's already had a heart attack. Iirc the 5 year mortality rate was like 30%.

As one heart specialist said, theres no such thing as a mild case of myocarditis
