Contrast Stress Echocardiography Findings in Myocardial Bridging Compared to Normal Coronary Course, With and Without Coronary Artery Disease
Anno:
2024
Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) correlation with ischemia remains a diagnostic challenge. There is a lack of studies that have assessed MB using contrast stress echo and compared the findings with those in patients demonstrating a normal coronary course, with or without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: We evaluated…
CARDIAC CT-PERFUSION IMAGING IN MYOCARDIAL BRIDGING EVALUATION: A NOVEL WEAPON FOR NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF A SILENT KILLER
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION: Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital anomaly characterized by the intramyocardial course of one or more coronary arteries that provokes endothelial dysfunction and can generate myocardial ischemia with its pathological consequences. Because of the dynamic nature of the ischemic mechanism, a high-sensitivity myocardial perfusion stress test is often…
