Abstract EN
It is known that a number of toxic substances produce myocardial injury by several mechanisms involving interruption of coronary blood flow due to stimulation of clotting mechanism and coronary vasospasm.
Number of toxic substances may cause direct myocardial toxicity independent of coronary blood flow.
Acute myocardial injury due to stings and bites is a rare entity and not well understood.
Here we illustrate a case of myocardial injury due to Russell’s viper envenomation.
