Abstract
Lyme disease is a recognised cause of atrioventricular block. In most cases the conduction disturbances are reversed by treatment with antibiotics. A 44 year old man with third degree atrioventricular block in Lyme carditis had a temporary decrease in heart rate during resolution of the heart block two days after treatment with antibiotics was started.
