Papers about cardiac issues and Lyme disease

Here is a bit of correspondence I bumped in to today between a couple of researchers and Lyme  disease specialists on the topic of cardiac problems that can result from Lyme infection.  -- Bob

Dear Dr. X,
I was looking up the paper you asked about and hit a gold mine of papers on the same subject which I have listed below.  I pulled these in 10 minutes and will search more thoroughly once I go through these papers with our think tank to see the etiology and supportive data.
So important for physicians to know regarding manifestations of lyme.
We are onto something !  Of course, I am going to zero in right into the membrane 
and see it from that perspective.

Warm regards,
PC Kane
