| Research Abstract |
The significance of myocardial bridge on myocardial infarction was investigated by histopathology using autopsied hearts having myocardial bridge. The myocardial bridge was detected in 45% cases in the left anterior descending coronary artery within 150 hearts. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge were significantly larger in the hearts with infarction than those in the hearts without infarction. Unstable plaque-related lesions were mainly located in the intima 2-5cm far from the ostium of myocardial bridge. The myocardial bridge has a role as an anatomical risk factor for an occurrence of myocardial infarction via hemodynamic alteration in the segment proximal to the myocardial bridge.
