Özet
Myocardial bridges may cause angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, life threatening arrhythmias and even sudden cardiac death but most of them are harmless. Although the exact management is not well known, beta blockers seem to be the first choice. Stenting is controversial and one must think "twice" before stenting the bridged coronary artery. © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
