Systolic Compression of a Myocardial Bridged Coronary Artery and its Morphologic Characteristics: A Combination Study of Computed Tomography Angiography and Invasive Angiography

Abstract: BackgroundMyocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital anomaly in which a segment of a major epicardial coronary artery courses through the myocardium. This anomaly can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, and even death. The effectiveness of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in the detection of MB and its morphological features, and the accuracy of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in the evaluation of systolic compression have been shown in some prior studies.ObjectivesThe present study aime… Show more

“…In MB, LAD diameters may reduce after entrance into the myocardia. Although recent studies have mentioned this phenomenon (26,30), to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the effect of this phenomenon on the prediction of ischemia.…”
