Lyme disease is a tickborne illness that could cause, weeks to months later, complications involving the joints, central nervous system, and cardiovascular system. We report a case of cardiac manifestation with transitory higher degree atrioventricular block and dysfunction of the left ventricle. Complete resolution without signs of myocardial scar is demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Copyright 2004 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins

As noted on CFSFMExperimental (5/15/05): This discusses a specific Borrelia Burgdorferi case reports a heart problem that was resolved, presumably by treatment (the abstract is not clear on this point, but I believe that is what is inferred).
