Deadly spider venom could help prevent damage from heart attacks

Deadly spider venom could help prevent damage from heart attacks A potentially life-saving treatment for heart attack victims has been discovered from a very unlikely source - the venom of one of the world s deadliest spiders. A drug candidate developed from a molecule found in the venom of the Fraser Island (K gari) funnel web spider can prevent damage caused by a heart attack and extend the life of donor hearts used for organ transplants. The discovery was made by a team led by Dr Nathan Palpant and Professor Glenn King from The University of Queensland (UQ) and Professor Peter Macdonald from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
