That depends on the species of rattlesnake as venoms vary from species to species. Rattlesnakes primarily have cytotoxins or hemotoxins that attack tissues and blood, essentially digesting the victim from the inside out. Some also have neurotoxic components that attack the central nervous system causing paralysis that quickly leads to death. The Mojave rattlesnake, especially those from southeastern Arizona, are examples of rattlers with both types of toxins and are extremely dangerous.
