  • Title: Sinus node dysfunction complicating viper bite.
    Author: Agarwal A, Kumar T, Ravindranath KS, Bhat P, Manjunath CN, Agarwal N.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2015 Feb; 23(2):212-4. PubMed ID: 24887872.
    Abstract:
    Viper venom toxicities comprise mainly bleeding disorders and nephrotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is a rare manifestation of viper bite. We describe the case of a previously healthy 35-year-old man who developed coagulopathy and sinus node dysfunction following a viper bite. Electrocardiography showed sinus arrest and junctional escape rhythm. This is the first account of sinus node dysfunction caused by a viper bite.
