European Heart Journal, 2005 Myocardial bridging, a congenital coronary anomaly, is a clinical condition with several possible manifestations, and its clinical relevance is debated. This article reviews current knowledge about the anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical relevance, and treatment of myocardial bridging.

Circulation, 1999 Human myocardial bridging is a normal anatomic variation in which a coronary artery is bridged by a short segment of myocardium. It can cause variable degrees of systolic obstruction. The majority of patients are asymptomatic. A wide variety of syndromes can occur, including myocardial infarction and sudden death.

Folia Morphologica, 2020 Myocardial bridging (MB) is an anatomical variant in which an epicardial coronary artery passes under a bridge of myocardium. The most commonly affected vessel is the left anterior descending coronary artery, although other branches such as the marginal branches, diagonal branches and posterior descending right coronary artery may be occasionally ...

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015 Myocardial bridging is rare. Myocardial bridges are most commonly localized in the middle segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The anatomic features of the bridges vary significantly. Alterations of the endothelial morphology and the vasoactive agents impact on the progression of atherosclerosis of myocardial bridging.

Circulation, 2009 According to postmortem studies, coronary atherosclerosis can be substantial and reach a high prevalence of advanced lesions, including atheroma and fibroatheroma in young adults.1,2 Risk factors associated with coronary atherosclerosis such as dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension have been identified.

Myocardial bridge: bridging the differential diagnosis [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2017 A 50-year-old man with a history of vasospastic angina diagnosed 3 months prior presented with recurrent episodes of substernal chest pain. His chest pain was characterised as ‘squeezing’, lasting 10 min and typically occurred on awakening. Medications included isosorbide, nitroglycerin and ranolazine; however, due to lack of insurance he was unable to

Update on Myocardial Bridging [PDF]
Circulation, 2002 Muscle overlying the intramyocardial segment of an epicardial coronary artery, first mentioned by Reyman1 in 1737, is termed a myocardial bridge, and the artery coursing within the myocardium is called a tunneled artery (Figure 1). It is characterized by systolic compression of the tunneled segment, which remains clinically silent in the vast majority ...
