MDCT provides a comprehensive noninvasive evaluation of myocardial bridging, detailing both the anatomical features of the tunneled artery and surrounding thoracic structures.
May support MDCT for noninvasive myocardial bridging evaluation; extends literature but leaves open need for prospective validation.
MDCT is an effective noninvasive method for the diagnosis of myocardial bridging because MDCT can show the length and the depth of the tunneled artery and the diameter and percentage of stenosis in the segments showing myocardial bridging in the systolic and diastolic phases. Moreover, MDCT is efficient in showing the presence of other coronary artery, myocardial, epicardial, and neighboring thoracic abnormalities.
