  • Title: Lyme carditis: complete atrioventricular dissociation with need for temporary pacing.
    Author: Xanthos T, Lelovas P, Kantsos H, Dontas I, Perrea D, Kouskouni E.
    Journal: Hellenic J Cardiol; 2006; 47(5):313-6. PubMed ID: 17134068.
    Abstract:
    Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease. Cardiac manifestations of the disease are extremely rare. We report a case of Lyme carditis in an otherwise healthy male, who presented to the Accident & Emergency Department with chest pain, dizziness and generally symptoms indicating ischaemic heart disease. This patient, without documented history of Lyme disease, acutely developed third-degree atrioventricular block, which required placement of a transvenous pacemaker and resolved when the patient was administered doxycycline.
