Myocardial bridging is a congenital condition in which a segment of a major epicardial coronary artery has an intramyocardial course. Myocardial bridging is usually confined to a single vessel (typically the mid segment of the left anterior descending artery) and is usually asymptomatic, however, bridging may be associated with chest pain, myocardial infarction, or sudden cardiac death. While more commonly identified at autopsy, myocardial bridging is occasionally diagnosed by coronary angiography with identification of concomitant myocardial bridging involving both the left and right coronary arteries appearing to be uncommon. We present three patients presenting with atypical chest pain symptoms in whom concomitant right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery myocardial bridging was identified by ECG gated multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
