Measurement of High Sensitivity Troponin T in Patients with Early Stage Lyme Disease: Preliminary Evidence for Possible Subclinical Cardiac Involvement

CONCLUSIONS: There are many possible explanations for increased hsTnT values in different types of patients in the absence of acute cardiac damage. Nonetheless our results raise the possibility that subclinical cardiac involvement may be more common in ELD than previously recognized. Further studies will be necessary to elucidate the significance of this finding.PMID:35414496
