Myocardial bridging in adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES This investigation examined the risk of sudden cardiac death and other mortality in adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who have myocardial bridging diagnosed at coronary angiography. BACKGROUND Several reports have associated myocardial bridging with an adverse prognosis in pediatric HCM patients, but the prognosis of myocardial bridging in adult patients with HC...
متن کاملExercise-Induced Repolarization Changes in Patients with Isolated Myocardial Bridging
BACKGROUND Although myocardial bridging (MB) is defined as an angiographic phenomenon with a benign course, it has also been associated with adverse cardiovascular events. The effects of exercise on myocardial repolarization in patients with MB were tested in this study, with Tp-e and Tp-e/QT repolarization indexes. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 50 patients in whom isolated MB was diagnosed...
متن کاملAssessment of indirect inflammatory markers in patients with myocardial bridging
INTRODUCTION Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital variant of the coronary artery in which a portion of the epicardial coronary artery takes an intramuscular course. Although it is considered a benign anomaly, it may lead to such complications as myocardial ischaemia, acute coronary syndrome, coronary spasm, exercise-induced dysrhythmias or even sudden death. MB may be related to increased i...
متن کاملPatients With Myocardial Infarction A Possible Explanation for Increased Mortality in the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST)
Background The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) was designed to test the hypothesis that suppression of ventricular ectopy with antiarrhythmic drugs after a myocardial infarction reduces the incidence of sudden arrhythmic death. Patients in whom ventricular ectopy could be suppressed with encainide, flecainide, or moricizine were randomly assigned to receive either active drug or pla...
