Abstract
The incidence of Lyme carditis is expected to increase due to human migration, reforestation, and climate mediated improvement. Autoantibody biomarkers of Lyme carditis can: (a) stratify affected individuals based on their risk of a sustained immune response and cardiac involvement, thereby facilitating proactive treatment regimens; and (b) be targeted in future precision medicine therapies, improving the quality of care for patients with Lyme carditis. A unique autoantibody profile of abnormally expressed cardiac proteins is likely present in Lyme disease. Discovery of biomarkers of cardiac involvement in Lyme disease will help to elucidate the sequelae leading to sustained humoral autoimmunity following initial infection with Lyme disease.
