What is myocardial bridging of the heart?

Myocardial bridging occurs when the heart is malformed, with a bridge of muscle fibers overlying a section of a coronary artery, usually the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. When the heart beats, the artery is squeezed and normal blood flow is disrupted during both the pumping and relaxed cycles.

How is myocardial bridge diagnosis?

How is it diagnosed? If you experience symptoms, your doctor will use tests that show how blood is delivered to parts of your heart: Cardiac catheterization with angiography to measure the blood flow and blood pressure in the heart chambers and see if the coronary arteries are blocked.

What is myocardial bridging of lad?

Myocardial bridging, first described anatomically by Reyman in 1737,1 is a congenital variant of a coronary artery in which a portion of an epicardial coronary artery (most frequently the middle segment of the left anterior descending [LAD] artery) takes an intramuscular course.

Is a myocardial bridge considered heart disease?

Myocardial bridges have traditionally been considered a benign condition, but recent studies have demonstrated that the clinical complications can be dangerous; these complications include acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias (including supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia), exercise-induced ...

How many people have a myocardial bridge?

The reported prevalence of myocardial bridging ranges from 1.5% to 26%, with higher numbers reported in autopsy findings versus invasive coronary angiography studies.

Can a myocardial bridge be stented?

The patient remains free from angina and arrhythmias. To our knowledge, coronary stent implantation in myocardial bridging without angiographic evidence of arteriosclerotic lesions has been reported in only two patients who had acute myocardial infarction caused by the bridge.

How is myocardial bridging treatment?

Treatment of symptomatic patients with myocardial bridging consists primarily of pharmacologic therapy although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), myotomy, or coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) can be considered for selected patients refractory to maximal medical therapy.

Can myocardial bridging cause ischemia?

Myocardial bridges are known to be a cause of myocardial ischemia. In this setting, invasive physiological assessment with fractional flow reserve—a systo-diastolic index—is hampered by systolic pressure overshooting and negative systolic pressure gradients.

Is myocardial bridging inherited?

Dear Sondra: Myocardial bridging is present in 10 to 15% of autopsies. It is more frequent when the cardiac muscle is thick (like in hypertension). It is usually benign and as far as I know, not hereditary. Consult with your doctor about getting blood pressures under control – an important factor in everyone's health.

Does myocardial bridge cause high blood pressure?

Myocardial bridging creates a dynamic stenosis brought on by chronotropic and inotropic stimulation. MBs cause significant diastolic pressure gradients, but normal or negative systolic pressure overshooting.

What is myocardial bridging?

What We Offer You for Myocardial Bridging 1 Team-based approach that brings together cardiologists, psychologists, surgeons, and other specialists to create a care plan tailored to your needs. 2 Comprehensive support services including mindfulness classes and nutrition counseling to help people with myocardial bridging live healthfully. 3 Active research program by Stanford doctors who have studied more people with myocardial bridging than any other program in the world.

What is the best medication for myocardial bridging?

The drugs we prescribe for myocardial bridging may include: Beta blockers: Drugs that slow the heart rate and help ease the amount of force with which the heart squeezes. Calcium channel blockers: Medications that help to relax and widen blood vessels. Statins: These reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, which helps to prevent plaque build-up. ...

What is the purpose of cardiac behavioral medicine after heart surgery?

After heart surgery, the cardiologists, behavioral psychologists, and dietitians from our Cardiac Behavioral Medicine Program help you make any necessary lifestyle changes to keep your heart healthy and get you back to living a full, active life.

Can bridges cause chest pain?

Most bridges don’t seem to cause symptoms. However, some people with myocardial bridges can experience angina, or chest pain. At Stanford, we actively look for and diagnose hard-to-detect forms of non-obstructive coronary artery disease, like myocardial bridging. In fact, our doctors helped to establish the link between myocardial bridges ...

Can myocardial bridging cause chest pain?

Some people with myocardial bridging may still experience intolerable chest pain and other symptoms, despite taking medication. In those cases, your doctor will discuss the option of surgical unroofing with you.
