Abstract
Snake venom toxicities comprise mainly bleeding disorders and nephrotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is a rare manifestation of snake bite. We describe the case of a previously healthy 23- year-old man who developed coagulopathy and AV node dysfunction following snake bite. Electrocardiography showed all variations of AV conduction dysfunction. This is the first account of AV node dysfunction caused by a snake bite with cardiotoxicity presenting as atrioventricular block.
