Myocardial bridges (MBs) have been associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events. Even though the pathophysiology of this association is still elusive, it seems to be related to the development of atherosclerosis. This hypothesis is based on changes in blood flow resulting from systolic compression of coronary arteries and leading to changes in arterial wall shear stress, which could act as a proatherogenic event affecting the endothelium of the arterial segment proximal to the MB. Recently, Akishima-Fukasawa et al. […]
