Abstract

Myocardial bridging(MB) is a condition where a segment of a coronary artery, which normally runs on the surface of the heart muscle, instead dives
into the heart muscle and then re-emerges to continue its normal path. In MB, a segment of the coronary artery dives into the heart muscle during systole and re-emerges during diastole. This can lead to compression of the artery, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle during systole and causing symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath.
