Myocardial bridging as one of the causes of atypical chest pain in young women.
Egyptian Heart Journal : EHJ 2017 December
Introduction: Myocardial bridging is congenital anomaly which usually has benign prognosis but there are also reports suggesting that it can be associated with ischemic clinical syndromes presenting with chest pain. Coronary computed tomography angiography is a well-established method for detecting myocardial bridging. However, clinical significance of this anomaly still remains unclear.
Methods: We studied 977 patients who presented with recurrent typical or atypical chest pain in outpatient clinic. All patients have undergone detailed clinical examination, ECG stress testing and coronary computed tomography angiography.
Results: Highest positive prediction for having myocardial bridging was for patients presenting with atypical chest pain with negative ECG stress test and who were younger women.
Conclusion: Coronary computed tomography angiography may be preferable method for evaluation of chest pain in younger women presenting with atypical chest pain.
