Synthesizes current knowledge on myocardial bridging for reference; leaves open the need for prospective outcome studies.
uscle overlying the intramyocardial segment of an epicardial coronary artery, first mentioned by Reyman 1 in 1737, is termed a myocardial bridge, and the artery coursing within the myocardium is called a tunneled artery (Figure It is characterized by systolic compression of the tunneled segment, which remains clinically silent in the vast majority of cases. ] In the present article, we summarize clinically relevant aspects of myocardial bridging with an emphasis on morphological and hemodynamic alterations and their representation in imaging techniques.
