Myocardial infarction due to myocardial bridging.
Myocardial bridging is a rare coronary anomaly which is generally considered to be benign. Although the hemodynamic burden exerted by this entity has been demonstrated by intravascular ultrasound and Doppler studies, there are few reports of bridge-related infarction accompanied by severe hemodynamic compromise. We report one such patient who presented with acute infarction and cardiogenic shock.
