Myocardial bridge over the left anterior descending coronary artery: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Myocardial bridging (MB) is considered as a topic of high interest since its occurrence in diff erent studies is statistically signifi cant, and the clinical  manifestations of this phenomenon are complicated with cardiovascular  diseases. Whether the MB participates in heart diseases and has a decisive  eff ect to life-threatening situations is still under research, and many studies  have been conducted to clarify the abovementioned question. A case report with a MB on the left anterior descending coronary artery is presented in the
current study, and a review of the literature is provided as well. Cardiologists as well thoracic surgeons and radiologists should bear in their mind the  otential presence of such variant during interpretation of angiographies and multidetector-computed tomography.
