Myocardial bridging (MB) is considered as a topic of high interest since its occurrence in different studies is statistically significant, and the clinical manifestations of this phenomenon are complicated with cardiovascular diseases. Whether the MB participates in heart diseases and has a decisive effect to life-threatening situations is still under research, and many studies have been conducted to clarify the abovementioned question. A case report with a MB on the left anterior descending coronary artery is presented in the current study, and a review of the literature is provided as well. Cardiologists as well thoracic surgeons and radiologists should bear in their mind the potential presence of such variant during interpretation of angiographies and multidetector-computed tomography.
心肌桥(MB)因其在不同研究中的发生率具有统计学意义,且该现象的临床表现与心血管疾病相关而备受关注。MB是否参与心脏疾病以及对危及生命的情况是否具有决定性作用仍在研究中,并且已经开展了许多研究以阐明上述问题。本研究报告了一例左前降支冠状动脉存在心肌桥的病例,并对相关文献进行了综述。心脏病专家、胸外科医生和放射科医生在解读血管造影和多排螺旋计算机断层扫描结果时,应考虑到这种变异的潜在存在。
