Human coronary arteries occasionally course intramyocardially‐a condition termed
Myocardial Bridge. We review the anatomic and pathophysiological basis of the Myocardial …

OBJECTIVE To assess long term results of coronary stent implantation in patients with
symptomatic myocardial bridging. METHODS Intracoronary stent implantation was …

Much has been written regarding the potential clinical significance of myocardial bridges. As
such bridging is often seen in normal individuals, it is clear that not all arteries bridged by …

Aims: Myocardial bridging (MB), characterised by the epicardial coronary vessel diving into
the myocardium, is present in up to one third of adults and is associated with angina and …

Background Shear stress alteration has been recognized as a predisposing factor for the
impairment of endothelial function. Myocardial bridging is a congenital condition associated …

Myocardial bridge is the most common congenital coronary anomaly. Patients with this
anomaly are usually asymptomatic, but it may cause myocardial ischemia that may lead to …

Background The pressure drop–flow relations in myocardial bridges and the assessment of
vascular heart disease via fractional flow reserve (FFR) have motivated many researchers …

Results Prevalence: 0.72%. Milking was observed in 60 patients, but 25 of them were
excluded due to associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, severe valvular disease, or …

Background: Myocardial bridge (MB) is characterised by focal compression of a coronary
artery in systole by an overlying band of myocardium. Chronic compression and relaxation …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the long‐term prognosis of non‐
interventionally followed patients with myocardial bridge and angiographic milking of the left …
