Article Synopsis
- Lyme carditis (LC) is a heart condition linked to early disseminated Lyme disease, typically causing transient but potentially serious cardiac issues, as outlined in a case study of a 42-year-old man who experienced severe symptoms after a tick bite.
- The patient suffered from generalized weakness, presyncope, and dyspnea, and was diagnosed with a severe cardiac conduction issue leading to a brief cardiac arrest, treated with IV ceftriaxone and a temporary pacemaker.
- This case is notable because it occurred in an urban hospital where such cases are rare, and the diagnosis was unexpected given the patient's circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
