Key result
Myocardial bridging is an uncommon cause of chest pain and acute coronary syndrome that is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Why the study?
Myocardial bridging is an uncommon cause of emergency department chest pain and is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Myocardial bridging should be considered as a potential cause of acute coronary syndrome in otherwise healthy individuals presenting with chest pain.
Hypothesis-generating for myocardial bridging in ACS; case report leaves open prevalence and management implications.
Myocardial bridging is an uncommon cause of a quite common emergency department complaint for chest pain and is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. We present a case of an otherwise healthy middle-aged U.S. military service member who presented with acute coronary syndrome which was ultimately determined to be the result of myocardial bridging.
