Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocardial bridging.
Two patients are reported in whom hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was associated with myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery. One had a history of angina and recurrent syncope, the other had chest pain and exertional dyspnoea. In each case the diagnosis was made by cross-sectional echocardiography and coronary angiography.
