Abstract

Lyme disease can have cardiac involvement and can subsequently present with various types of atrio ventricular (AV) block. Sinus node dysfunction (SND) and accelerated junctional rhythm are highlighted in this case as an uncommon presentation for Lyme Carditis. This case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for cardiac involvement with Lyme disease when atypical arrhythmias are present.
