Abstract EN
We describe a case of severe scorpion envenomation in an adult patient, with the presence of very rapid sustained ventricular tachycardia followed by cardiogenic shock, which was reversed by scorpion antivenom administration.
Scorpion venom causes cardiac changes that can lead to an environment favoring arrhythmogenesis.
