Good point. When I hear "healthy young person", I imagine "20ish person of ~10-15% body fat percentage and no chronic medical conditions, with the exception of minor things such as seasonal allergies or specific drug/chemical allergies". A body as close to "perfect" as is possible.
I do not imagine a person born with a super fucked up heart. Myocarditis is serious. I recall hearing that not many babies born with this survive for long, and if they do, they typically must take medication for the rest of their lives in order to prevent their heart from swelling up and causing issues.
You could say "Besides being born with myocarditis, she was a healthy 20 year-old". This highlights the rather serious condition, but also indicates that that should be it, she should be good to go everywhere else.
Yeah totally. Iirc the general medical consensus is that for those with myocarditis, approx 20% will succumb to it within the first 5 years of been diagnosed .... even with the medication.
