Key result
ECG gated multidetector row CT was used to evaluate a 38-year-old man with recurrent exertional chest pain and suspected myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending artery.
Case Report (n=1)
ECG gated multidetector row CT can visualize arterial compression in patients with suspected myocardial bridging.
Supports CT visualization of myocardial bridging in symptomatic patients; leaves open prospective validation before wider adoption.
A 38 year old man presented with a history of multiple hospital admissions with recurrent exertional related chest pain. On each occasion there was no elevation in cardiac troponin. Exercise stress testing revealed myocardial ischaemic change but coronary angiography failed to demonstrate underlying coronary disease although myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was suspected. ECG gated …
