The main objective of this article was to analyze prevalence data about myocardial bridging (MB) in published studies. To this purpose, we performed a meta-analysis of studies published in English literature that contained data about the prevalence of MB and its anatomical characteristics. The overall prevalence was 19% (CI: 17-21%); autopsy studies revealed an overall prevalence of 42% (CI: 30-55%), CT studies 22% (CI: 18-25%), and coronary angiography 6% (CI: 5-8%). Most bridges were located on the left anterior descending artery (82% overall, 63% on autopsy studies), had a mean thickness of 2.47 mm and a mean length of 19.3 mm. In conclusion, autopsy studies should be the gold standard in evaluating the actual prevalence of myocardial bridges, while in vivo high-resolution CT scanning should be preferred to coronary angiography studies.

“…The within-MB diameters on MDCT-CTA and coronary angiography showed a significant correlation during systolic and diastolic phases. In case of MB, segments with sufficient systolic compression (>50%), length of MBs on MDCT and coronary angiography correlated significantly not only at systolic phase but also at diastolic phase [63]. Kim et al in a study with 300 patients who received 64 section MDCT showed that frequency of MB was 58% which partial encasement of 57 patients and full encasement of 117 paxents, while only 40 patients (13.3%; partial encasement in 1 patient and full encasement in 39) demonstrated dynamic compression at conventional angiography.…”

“…In present study, the incidence was shown as 14.1%, which was similar to the prevalence of 16.1% in a large Chinese cohort undergoing coronary angiography (26). A variety of factors, such as the length and thickness of MB, anatomic relationship of MB and MCA, percentage of connective tissue and fat tissue around MCA, the using of vessel dilator, the angle of view and the experience of the viewers, may contribute to the discrepancy of the prevalence of MB from study to study (14,(27)(28)(29). In this study, we paid much attention to detect MB-MCAs while performing angiography.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of coronary angiographically evident atherosclerotic stenosis associated with myocardial bridging (MB) and to explore related risk factors of coronary artery stenosis located proximally to MB. Methods: Overall, 603 patients with MB-mural coronary arteries (MB-MCAs) diagnosed by angiography initially were enrolled in this observational study during May 2004 to May 2009. One-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation test and stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed to explore related risk factors. Results: Totally 644 MB-MCAs were examined. Prevalence of lesions located distally to MBs was significantly lower than those proximally to MBs [36 (5.9%) vs. 382 (62.4%), p<0.001]. Diastolic vessel diameters in MB segments were significantly smaller than reference segments p<0.001. Ulcer-like lesion was found in MB-MCA in 1 patient. Multivariate analysis suggested that vascular bifurcation lesions, the degree of narrowing and the number of diseased coronary vessels of non-MB-MCA arteries, age, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), male, course of diabetes, and systolic narrow rate (SNR) of MB-MCAs were positively related with the narrow degree of the first coronary artery stenosis (FCAS) located proximally to MBs (all p<0.05). Vascular bifurcation lesions, the degree of narrowing and the number of diseased coronary vessels of non-MB-MCA arteries, age, LDL-C/HDL-C, male, diabetes and dyslipidemia were positively related with the narrow degree of the most severe coronary artery stenosis(MSCAS) located proximally to MB (all p<0.05). Conclusion: The intramural and distal portions of a bridged artery are not the forbidden zone of artery atherosclerosis formation. SNR of MB-MCA may be one of the important decision factors to coronary artery stenosis located proximally to MB.
