Abstract
Myocardial bridging (MB) is a common congenital coronary
anomaly. The treatment is debated in symptomatic forms. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could be a possible solution;
however, in these cases the major adverse cardiac event rate is
high (1).
A 52-year-old man presented with chest pain provoked by
emotional stress. Laboratory tests and transthoracal echocardiography were normal. Treadmill test was indicated according
to Bruce protocol that demonstrated silent ischemia at 125 Watts
workload. Beta blocker was uptitrated (bisoprolol 2.5–10 mg daily).
