Abstract

This descriptive study evaluates the effectiveness of Bothrops in treating ischemic heart disease. Bothrops
Lanceolatus is the venom of yellow viper. This snake belongs to the animalia kingdom of reptilia class and
phylum chordate. They are also known as fer-de-lance, martinician pit viper generally found in the island
of Martinique. Its venom is anticoagulant. So it is expected to be useful in thrombosis and thrombotic
affections such as stroke[2]. In this study 10 patients diagnosed as coronary artery disease with coronary
angiogram were given bothrops and effective improvement were noted in both exertional dypsnea assessed
by NYHA classification and the occurrence of angina which is assessed by Canadian Cardiovascular
Society Grading Of Angina Pectoris.
