Nonsymptomatic myocardial bridge causing systolic total narrowing of circumflex artery

Nonsymptomatic myocardial bridge causing systolic total narrowing of circumflex artery

Myocardial bridge is defined as the narrowing of any coronary artery segment in systole but a normal diameter in diastole. It is most frequently seen on left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Left circumflex artery (LCx) is very rare. A 62 year-old male patient presented with severe, squeezing chest...
