Angiographic prevalence of myocardial bridging.

Abstract

In a very large group of patients from Turkey undergone selective coronary artery angiography, the angiographic prevalence of myocardial bridging was slightly higher than expected. Only diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for coronary artery disease was higher in groups representing <50% of systolic compression (Group A and 1) than in groups representing >or=50% of systolic compression (Group B and 2) but the importance of this result is not known.
