We present a case of a 55-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with complaints of acute onset of chest pain. As part of the workup, an electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V5. Upon cardiac catheterization, myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery was discovered without evidence of any obstructive coronary artery disease. The purpose of this report is to add to the existing literature that myocardial bridging, although traditionally thought to be a benign pathology, can also present risks for ischemia and infarction.
我们报告一例55岁男性患者，该患者因突发胸痛就诊于急诊科。作为检查的一部分，心电图（ECG）显示V1-V5导联ST段抬高。心脏导管检查发现左前降支（LAD）动脉心肌桥，未发现任何阻塞性冠状动脉疾病的证据。本报告的目的是补充现有文献，即心肌桥虽然传统上被认为是一种良性病变，但也可能存在缺血和梗死风险。
