Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights a rare presentation of severe myocardial bridging concomitant with familial subaortic stenosis in an asymptomatic child.
Raises awareness for combined myocardial bridging and subaortic stenosis in asymptomatic youth with SCD family history; leaves open optimal management and screening.
Myocardial bridging is usually seen in the setting of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or left ventricular hypertrophy. It is rarely reported in an asymptomatic patient with an otherwise structurally normal heart. Familial subaortic stenosis is also a rare entity, and its mode of inheritance is still unknown. Here, we described the case of a 13-year-old asymptomatic girl with a positive family history of sudden cardiac death and subaortic stenosis who was diagnosed with severe myocardial bridging concomitant with familial subaortic stenosis.
