How Vector Born Diseases Impact Heart Health

Both bartonellosis and Lyme disease are associated with dangerous heart conditions that can be fatal in some cases. The heart has three important aspects that can be affected by disease: electrical, structural, and muscular. Bartonella and Borrelia species can negatively impact all three of these.

Electrical
The electrical function of the heart causes the muscles to contract in a specific sequence for ideal blood flow. These electrical patterns can be seen on an ECG (electrocardiogram) tracing. Specific pathways carry electrical impulses at different speeds to cause the heart to beat correctly. If an impulse is too fast or too slow, the heart will beat inefficiently, which may be fatal.

Carditis is a localized or diffuse swelling of the heart tissues. It can disrupt electrical signals in the heart, causing a “heart block.” An example of this is when the signal from the atrioventricular node (AV node) is interrupted. Less commonly, a patient may also experience atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heartbeat that can reduce the amount of blood moving through the heart.

A heart block can be detected as an abnormality on an ECG. A severe heart block can prevent the heart from getting the electrical stimulation necessary to beat, leading to sudden death.
