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. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Also, heart failure and chest pains are known to occur. Heart problems caused by Lyme disease are rare Heart problems caused by Lyme disease don’t often happen, and therefore, are difficult to recognize by doctors. [innatoss.com]

Patients may experience light-headedness, fainting, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, or chest pain. [cdc.gov]

This can cause sharp chest pain that increases with deep breaths or lying down, compared to sitting up. Over time the pericardium can thicken and adhere to the heart muscle. [everydayhealth.com]

A repeat ECG showed a first-degree AV block with a markedly prolonged PR interval of greater than 400 ms. Physical exam revealed multiple annular, erythematous, macular lesions with central clearing. (Figures 1 and 2.) [journals.lww.com]

He was noted to possibly have subtle Brugada pattern on EKG with prolonged PR interval of 252ms. A procainamide challenge was equivocal. He was placed on quinidine for suspected Brugada syndrome. [onlinejacc.org]

This manifests as subtle and nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities on the ECG. Common symptoms include palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Syncope is not uncommon in those who progress to complete heart block. [journals.lww.com]
