Abstract

Background: Band of Myocardial tissue overlying a segment of an epicardial coronary artery is termed myocardial bridge (MB). The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence, risk factors and angiographic profile of patients with myocardial bridge in a tertiary care hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational study included a total of 1480 patients with suspected coronary artery disease admitted to Enam Medical College and Hospital, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh for coronary angiography between April 2016 to June 20019 of them 43 cases were found to have myocardial bridge. Coronary compression was defined as a maximum systolic luminal compression ≥50%. In this population, 43 patients had systolic luminal compression ≥50%, and all 43 patients were selected for the study to determine the prevalence and risk factors of MB and recorded coronary angiogram was reviewed to see the angiographic location of MB, length of MB and number of vessels involved. Results: In this study incidence of MB was 2.9%. The risk factors associated with MB hypertension were 33 (76.74%), diabetes mellitus 28 (65.11%), hyperlipidaemia 18 (41.86%), family history of CAD 15 (34.88%), smoking history 22 (51.16%). Located of MB in LAD were 34 (79.06%), LCX 07 (16.27%) and RCA 02 (4.65%). The MB were in single vessel 38 (88.37%) and double vessels 05 (11.62%). MBs with atherosclerotic stenosis in LAD were 18 (41.86%), LCX 02 (4.65%), RCA 01 (2.32%) and severity of MB stenosis were in LAD 50 -70% were 27 (62.79%), >70% were 07 (16.27%), LCX 50-70% were 06 (13.95%) and >70% was 01 (2.32%) and RCA 50-70% was 02 (4.65%). The length of MBs segment <10 mm were 06 (13.95%), 10-20 mm were 25 (58.19%) and >20 mm were 12 (27.90%). Conclusion: In this study the prevalence of MB was 2.91%, commonly presented with chronic stable angina. The most risk factors of myocardial bridges were hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, family history and smoking history. In coronary angiography most of the patient of MB was present in association of acute coronary syndrome with documented coronary artery disease and was mainly located in LAD mid segment and the length of MB was mostly 10-20 mm. Further large numbers of case are needed to validate the result of the study.
