الوصف: lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-born disease in the Northern Hemisphere. During early disseminated Lyme disease, cardiac manifestation can occur. including acute conduction disorders, atrioventricular block, acute myopericarditis or left ventricular dysfunction and rarely cardiomegaly or fatal pericarditis. We report a case of a patient with isolated Lyme myocarditis manifested by acute heart failure with atrial fibrillation and review of the literature on the subject. The interested of this case report is to show the need to acquire the reflex to think about a lyme carditis when patients in endemic areas come to attention with cardiovasculair symtoms, even in the absence of others concurerenr clinical manifestations of early lyme disease.
