Mechanisms of ischemia in patients with myocardial bridges

In this episode Dr. Chadi Alraies discusses a recent study investigating mechanisms of ischemia in patients with myocardial bridges.
Angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) is a complex condition that involves various pathological conditions such as coronary microvascular disease, coronary artery spasm as well as the perplexing condition of myocardial bridging. While myocardial bridging was usually considered harmless, it's now being linked to long-term chest pain and sudden heart problems.
In a recent study, researchers investigated the body's responses during exercise, specifically in patients with ANOCA and myocardial bridging, using a technique called wave intensity analysis. Hereby Dr. Chadi Alraies discusses the findings of this important study.

Thanks for raising awareness about myocardial bridge. The appropriate test for myocardial bridge is a cath with a dobutamine challenge, diastolic ffr or IFR or RFR. FFR is not recommended as the artery can be compressed well into diastole. IVUS can be performed also

Thank you, I have chest pains for 2 years, my life is so bad from that day it started, I've been told that everything is ok but I've paid for my CT scan and found out I have short intramyocardial segment that started to give me symptoms after long ride on bicycle, had so many wrong diagnosis it's ridiculus, been sent home by 2 cardiologists already and now waiting for the third visit and just hope that this time they will make it right, I am 36 I want to run, ride, play end enjoy my life, this nightmare needs to stop.
