Myocardial Bridging as a Trigger in Angina With No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease

We present 2 patients with angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease and concomitant myocardial bridging. Despite maximal tolerated pharmacotherapy, symptoms remained. Invasive anatomical and hemodynamic assessment identified myocardial bridging as a contributing cause of angina. Following...

Description
Summary:We present 2 patients with angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease and concomitant myocardial bridging. Despite maximal tolerated pharmacotherapy, symptoms remained. Invasive anatomical and hemodynamic assessment identified myocardial bridging as a contributing cause of angina. Following heart team discussion, both patients underwent successful coronary artery unroofing of the left anterior descending artery. [Display omitted]
