A Review on Arrhythmias due to Snakebite

An estimated 1.8 to 2.5 million venomous snakebites occurworldwide each year and result in at least 100,000 to 125,000deaths. It is a public health problem particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It is known that 4 species of snakes(Viperidae, Elapidae, Colubridae, and Lamprophiidae) are determined to cause harm to humans. Envenoming by these snake species may cause myocardial damage and electrocardiographic deterioration. Common manifestations of cardiovascular toxicity are acute myocardial infarction, electrocardiogramabnormalities and arrhythmias. In this narrative review, we aimed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of cardiovascular toxicity due to snake bite.
