Suggests potential myocardial bridge-induced coronary collapse; hypothesis-generating and should not yet inform clinical decisions.
Computational modeling suggests that myocardial bridges can create extremely low-pressure regions downstream, potentially leading to elastic choking or collapse of the coronary artery.
Liu et al. (1999) studied Myocardial bridge in a coronary artery. Computational fluid dynamic modeling of a myocardial bridge was evaluated on Fluid mechanics, vortex wave flow, wall shear stress, and pressure distribution. Computational fluid dynamic modeling of a myocardial bridge demonstrated a steep, adverse pressure gradient during indentation flush-out, suggesting the potential for coronary artery collapse.
