Overview
A myocardial bridge or MB is defined as a segment of a major coronary epicardial artery that "tunnels" or passes intramurally through the myocardium beneath the muscle bridge during systole.[1][2] Myocardial bridges are generally located in the distribution of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and its diagonal branches.
