Hi welcome to HCM.
Many of the poisonous snake bites can lead cardiac conduction disturbances.THis seems to the cause in your case.Most of the disturbances can be cured when rapid medical attention is given.PVC ablation has excellent treatment outcomes.Other defects would take time to heal.I advice you to have a baseline EKG and 24 hr holter study can be taken by you on semiannual basis for monitoring basis.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
