“…Although myocardial bridging is generally considered as a harmless clinical anomaly, several reports have showed an association of this condition with sudden cardiac death (6), myocardial infarction (7,8), coronary artery spasm (9) or ventricular arrhythmia (10). We describe a young man with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with myocardial bridging which was assessed by coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound.…”

A 28-year-old man was admitted because of chest pain. Emergency coronary angiography showed a massive thrombus in the proximal segment and another occlusive thrombus in the distal segment of the left anterior descending artery. He was treated with thrombolytic therapy. Repeat coronary angiography showed disappearance of the thrombi in the proximal and distal segments and obvious myocardial bridging in the mid segment. Intravascular ultrasound revealed an atherosclerotic plaque in the segment immediately proximal to the myocardial bridging, but did not reveal any plaque within or distal to the site. He was discharged 12 days later.

“…Accumulating evidence throughout the world has indicated that myocardial bridge may cause angina pectoris (7,8), coronary spasms (9, 10), myocardial infarction (10)(11)(12)(13)(14), ventricular septal perforation (15), life threatening cardiac arrhythmias (6,16) and sudden cardiac death (2). Many case reports from Japan contributed much to the understanding of the pathophysiological role of myocardial bridge (4-6, 9, 17) including a case report by Kurisu et al (18) in this issue of the Journal.…”
