Left anterior descending artery myocardial bridging: pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

As a congenital anomalous coronary artery anatomy , the myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending ar-tery has a high incidence and detection rate.Traditionally, myocardial bridgings are considered to be benign anatomical vari-ants.However, as medical research progresses, more and more cardiac events have been found to be associated with myocardial bridgings.By summarizing recent literature reports, this review describes the anatomy and pathophysiology, classification and diagnosis of the left anterior descending artery myocardial bridgings .
