Why the study?
Myocardial bridges have rarely been reported in children or in association with congenital heart disease, where symptomatology may be mistakenly attributed to the underlying defect.
Highlights the rare occurrence of symptomatic myocardial bridges in a pediatric patient with congenital heart disease, where symptoms might otherwise be misattributed.
Myocardial bridges warrant consideration in symptomatic pediatric CHD; extends sparse reports but leaves optimal management open.
Myocardial bridges are often asymptomatic but may need therapy when causing ischaemia. They have rarely been reported in children or in association with CHD, where symptomatology may be mistakenly attributed to the CHD. We report a case of multiple myocardial bridges causing ischaemia in an adolescent with pulmonary stenosis and discuss management.
