Trends in baseline characteristics of patients hospitalized with Lyme disease in the U.S. between 2003 and 2014.

Proportion of patients hospitalized with Lyme disease who underwent implant of permanent pacemakers.
Flow chart showing the total number of patients hospitalized with Lyme disease in the US during the study period. Also displayed is the number of patients with cardiac issues related to Lyme disease, including: myocarditis, pericarditis, and conduction system disease (CCD). Some patients with Lyme-related CCD underwent implant of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) after implant of a temporary cardiac pacemaker (TCP). Other patients with Lyme-related CCD underwent PPM implant without first undergoing TCP implant.
