Question

question 50 1 pts a patient who is an avid long - distant runner is diagnosed with viral myocarditis. what will the provider tell this patient when asked when resuming exercising is permitted? exercise is contraindicated for life. exercise may resume when symptoms subside. he may resume exercise in 6 months. he must be symptom - free for 1 year.

Explanation:

Viral myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. In athletes with viral myocarditis, it is generally recommended to wait for a period of time to allow the heart to heal properly. While complete avoidance for life is not typical, resuming exercise just when symptoms subside is not sufficient as the heart may still be vulnerable. A common - recommended waiting period is around 6 months to ensure the heart has recovered. Requiring a full year of being symptom - free is more conservative than the typical recommendation.

Answer:

He may resume exercise in 6 months.
