There is a lot of evidence that the prevalence of Lyme disease is significant and often unsuspected. The presence of active Lyme (Borellia burgdorferi) and other common co-infections causes inflammation... among many other symptoms.... and can definitely influence heart arrhythmias. My experience is that arrhythmia patients are not typically flagged and tested as potential Lyme victims.
There is a lot of mis-information about Lyme disease and treatments including which tests are useful and which ones fail to detect not only Lyme but also other stealth co-infections that often accompany Lyme.
If you live in a wooded area or do hiking, camping, golfing, etc... where it's easy to pick up a tick and not know it, it's smart to be tested and consult with a Lyme Literate Doctor. The nymph of a tick is so tiny it's about the size of the period at the end of a sentence so virtually impossible to detect and many people are infected and have no clue.
Here's a website that offers reliable information

Dr. Burrascano's website is outstanding and he's one of the top Lyme doctors.
Apparently, I had a Lyme exposure long ago and didn't realize it until I was tested and found to have 'latent' lyme markers so my doctor pointed me to a significant amount of research and Lyme conference audios so I could understand what treatments might be useful.
There is a segment in CR 75 at this link on the Lyme topic...
