Abstract:
Objective To investigate morphologic characteristics of myocardial bridge(MBs)in optical coherence tomography(OCT)and to investigate the relationship between MBs and atherosclerosis in the proximal segments to MBs.Methods Twelve patients(age:58.07?12.08)with MBs were examined with OCT.The location and length of the most stenosis area of MBs were observed and compared between the CAG and OCT results.The intima thickness of the proximal 2 cm arterial segment of MBs was measured.Results All the 12 MBs were found in LAD.The length of the MBs measured in OCT and CAG respecgtively was 20.5?4.2 mm vs 15.6?3.5 mm(P
