Why the study?
Does surgical resection of a muscular bridge relieve severe intractable chest pain in a patient with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does surgical resection of a muscular bridge relieve severe intractable chest pain in a patient with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Surgical resection of a myocardial bridge may be considered in patients with refractory symptoms clearly attributed to the muscular bridge.
May warrant consideration for refractory symptoms clearly due to bridging; leaves open efficacy in nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The authors report a case of myocardial bridging associated with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and severe intractable chest pain that was relieved by surgical resection of the muscular bridge. Surgical resection of a myocardial bridge may be considered in patients with refractory symptoms that can clearly be attributed to muscular bridge.
