Comprehensive functional and anatomic assessment of myocardial bridging: Unlocking the Gordian Knot

Myocardial bridging (MB) is the most frequent congenital coronary anomaly in which a segment of an epicardial coronary artery takes a tunneled course under a bridge of the myocardium. This segment is compressed during systole, resulting in the so-called “milking effect” at coronary angiography. As c...
