Latest Research Progress On Myocardial Bridge

As myocardial bridge being a congenital anatomic variation,the clinical significance of myocardial bridge has been a topic of discussion and controversy. The myocardial bridge was considered as an benign anatomic variation in the past, but a growing number of studies have shown that myocardial bridge can lead to acute myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and even sudden cardiac death. Therefore, clinicians should raise awareness of myocardial bridge, a fundamental understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of myocardial bridge, timely detection of clinical manifestations associated with myocardial bridge, early diagnosis of myocardial bridge, correctly grasp the principles of treatment of myocardial bridge.This paper reviews the outcomes of the latest studies to improve awareness of the myocardial bridge and optimise the management of the patients.
