Abstract

Generalize electrocardiographic (ECG) changes is rare findings of snakebites. The present report describes a 21-year-old girl who developed generalize ECG changes without chest pain several hoursafter snakebite. The patient had no history of cardiac disease and no cardiac risk factors. We discussed the possible mechanisms leading to myocardial damage and ECG changes following snakebitein this case report.

Özet

Yılan ısırığına bağlı yaygın elektrokardiyografik (EKG) değişiklikler nadirdir. Biz bu olguda yılan ısırığından birkaç saat sonra yaygın EKG değişikliği olan 21 yaşında bayan hastayı sunduk. Hastanın kalphastalığı öyküsü ve kalp hastalığı için risk faktörü yoktu. Biz bu vakada yılan ısırığı sonrası miyokardiyal hasar ve EKG değişikliğinin mekanizmalarını tartıştık.
