Abstract

Background: Myocardial bridging can occasionally generate clinically important complications, despite usually being a benign condition. Myocardial bridging can be associated with stable and unstable angina, myocardial infarction, myocardial stunning, atrioventricular nodal block, ventricular tachycardia and sudden death. Present study was aimed to study clinical, angiographic profile and follow-up of patients with myocardial bridges at a tertiary hospital. Material and Methods: Present study was single-center, prospective, observational study, conducted in patients, >18 years, of both sexes, who underwent diagnostic conventional coronary angiography. Myocardial bridge (MB) was identified based on narrowing of coronary artery in systolic phase resulting in at least 50% reduction of luminal diameter in comparison with the diastolic phase.
