Severe hypertension in elapid envenomation [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Disease Research, 2013 Snakebite is not an uncommon medical emergency in India; however, symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in snakebite are rare. The elapid snake envenomation is a frequent occurrence in India, and the krait bite is prevalent in the south Indian region. Here, we present three cases of snakebite with severe hypertension and requiring intravenous nitroglycerin
