No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness
The website content is made available to users “as is,” and there is no warranty that the information presented is:
Accurate: While efforts are made to provide correct and up-to-date information, the Foundation cannot guarantee that all medical details, data, or research findings on the website are without error.
Complete: The website does not promise that every aspect of myocarditis or related conditions is fully covered. New medical research, treatments, and protocols are constantly evolving, and content may become outdated.

Consult Healthcare Providers: Users are encouraged to seek guidance from qualified healthcare professionals when making decisions related to their health. If you believe you have symptoms of myocarditis or any other serious condition, you should promptly consult a doctor, as early diagnosis and treatment can be critical.
