Myocardial bridge (MB), where a coronary artery segment is overlaid by myocardium, is often asymptomatic but can lead to serious complications. This case highlights a rare electrocardiographic manifestation of MB: resting ST-segment depression when transitioning from a supine to a standing position.
A 39-year-old male with no significant medical history presented with intermittent, nonexertional chest pain. His resting electrocardiogram was normal in the supine position but showed ST-segment depression in leads II, III, aVF, and V5-V6 when standing.
Coronary angiography confirmed a MB in the left anterior descending artery.
The patient was managed with beta-blockers, aspirin, and rosuvastatin therapy.
After 8 months of follow-up, no complications or cardiac symptoms were observed.
This case underscores the importance of recognizing positional ST-segment changes as a potential indicator of MB, offering valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of this condition.
心肌桥(MB)是指冠状动脉的一段被心肌覆盖,通常无症状,但可导致严重并发症。本病例突出了心肌桥一种罕见的心电图表现:从仰卧位转为站立位时静息ST段压低。
一名39岁男性,无重大病史,出现间歇性非劳力性胸痛。他仰卧位时静息心电图正常,但站立时II、III、aVF及V5-V6导联显示ST段压低。
冠状动脉造影证实左前降支存在心肌桥。
患者接受β受体阻滞剂、阿司匹林和瑞舒伐他汀治疗。
经过8个月的随访,未观察到并发症或心脏症状。
本病例强调了认识到体位性ST段改变作为心肌桥潜在指标的重要性,为该疾病的诊断和管理提供了有价值的见解。
