| Research Abstract |
Myocardial bridge(MB) existing in the coronary artery not only remarkably suppresses the atherosclerosis development in the coronary segment covered by MB, but also is influential to the atherosclerosis evolution and localization in the coronary artery segment proximal to the entrance of MB. When the mass volume of myocardium composing MB is large, such large MB induces the occurrence of MB. The patient age of such condition is significantly 8 years younger than that attacked by myocardial infarction without MB.
