Update on Lyme Carditis, Groups at High Risk, and Frequency of Associated Sudden Cardiac Death — United States

Forrester et al provide update on Lyme carditis, groups at high risk, and frequency of associated sudden cardiac death in the US. Among 121,894 cases reported during 1995-2013, 702 died from all causes within a year of Lyme disease diagnosis. The observed all-cause mortality for these 121,894 patien...

Zusammenfassung:Forrester et al provide update on Lyme carditis, groups at high risk, and frequency of associated sudden cardiac death in the US. Among 121,894 cases reported during 1995-2013, 702 died from all causes within a year of Lyme disease diagnosis. The observed all-cause mortality for these 121,894 patients is below the predicted age-adjusted, all-cause mortality for this population based on national, age-adjusted death rates. Two of these deaths occurred during June-November in two men in their 40s and 50s. Both patients experienced cardiac arrest within 6 weeks of Lyme disease symptom onset.
