  • Title: Lyme Carditis and High-Degree Atrioventricular Block.
    Author: Wan D, Blakely C, Branscombe P, Suarez-Fuster L, Glover B, Baranchuk A.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2018 May 01; 121(9):1102-1104. PubMed ID: 29598856.
    Abstract:
    Canada has seen a sixfold increase in Lyme disease since being nationally notifiable in 2009. This is the first Canadian series on Lyme carditis manifested as high-degree atrioventricular block. We report 5 recent cases presented over a 2-year period. The variation of nonspecific presentations requires a high index of suspicion for prompt diagnosis and correct management. Recognizing this early would curtail the progression of conduction disorders and potentially avoid permanent pacemaker implantation.
