Update on myocardial bridging.
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 of cases. An in-depth analysis of autopsy s...

متن کاملMyocardial Bridging
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. Patients may present with chest pain, myocardial infarct...
