A 48-year-old woman presented with acute coronary syndrome and underwent coronary angiography which revealed myocardial bridging at the distal end of the left anterior descending artery with otherwise normal coronary arteries. The patient used to take ergotamine for her chronic migraine. Possible association with myocardial bridging which was found in this patient is discussed.
