Core Tip	A 65-year-old female presented with mild Bothrops envenomation and developed unexpected cardiac complications, including sinus bradycardia and QTc prolongation. The cardiac complications progressed to severe arrhythmias requiring a pacemaker. Despite no initial systemic signs, intensive care, antivenom, and plasma transfusions were necessary for a successful recovery. This case underscored the need for cardiovascular monitoring after snakebites.
