Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 First the cardiologist would have to at least familiar with Lyme, and know that it CAN affect the heart. Secondly he'd have to know the correct tests to run. In the USA I'm sure that would mean first ruling out everything else inder the sun that affects the heart.

Department of Cardiology, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland. Lyme disease is a tickborne illness that could cause, weeks to months later, complications involving the joints, central nervous system, and cardiovascular system. We report a case of cardiac manifestation with transitory higher degree atrioventricular block and dysfunction of the left ventricle. Complete resolution without signs of myocardial scar is demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

[Atrioventricular heart block in Lyme disease] [Article in French] Pasquier M, O, Frochaux V, Imsand C, Vogt P, Girod G. Service de cardiologie, Centre hospitalier du Valais central, Site Sion, 1951 Sion. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe and in the United States. In comparison to dermatological, neurological and rheumatological manifestations, heart disease is quite rare. Atrioventricular heart block is nevertheless the most frequent cardiological manifestation. We hereby report the case of a patient with high degree heart block due to Lyme disease. We focus on the electrocardiographical evolution during antibiotic therapy, as well as on microbiological and diagnostic aspects. Lyme disease is a rare cause of conduction disturbances but it is treatable and potentially reversible.
