title: Myocardial bridging of left circumflex coronary artery associated with acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: Myocardial bridging of coronary arteries has been associated with myocardial infarction (MI), conduction disturbances, and sudden cardiac death. There are several reports on MI in association with myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Here we present a case report of acute MI associated with myocardial bridging of the left circumflex coronary artery.
