ABSTRACT
Snakebite is a common presentation in India, especially in the Sub-Himalayan region. The most common presentation of snakebite is neurotoxic and hematologic complications. Acute coronary syndrome after a snakebite is rare. This case report explicitly explains a patient presenting as acute coronary syndrome after a snakebite with dynamic electrocardiogram changes. Later on, the anti-snake venom therapy was given to the patient and her condition improved. It should be kept in mind that, since the pathology of snakebite-induced myocardial infarction is different, its management will also be different.
