Abstract
Myocardial bridging (MB) is congenital abnormality of the coronary arteries, which typically does not interfere with long term prognosis, but in some cases can cause myocardial infarction and other life-threatening conditions. This article reviews current knowledge about the anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical relevance, and treatment of MB and demonstrates a case of painless myocardial infarction in patients with MB of the left anterior descending artery.
