Understanding The Impact of Venom on Heart and Brain: A Case Study of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cerebrovascular Accident Post Snakebite
Mohammed Shanil P, Farsana Jasmin K
Abstract: A 58 - year - old male developed an acute myocardial infarction immediately after being bitten and two days later he had a cerebrovascular accident. The close clinical and laboratory follow - up of this case suggested that myocardial damage could be attributed to a direct cardiotoxic effect of the venom, while the brain injury that subsequently appeared was probably the result of a disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, possibly in conjunction with vasculitis.
