Bridging the Gap in a Rare Cause of Angina

Myocardial bridging occurs when coronary arteries run intramurally. Episodes of tachycardia can cause a dynamic obstruction that extends into diastole, compromising coronary filling time, and subsequently leading to ischaemia. Myocardial ischaemia, acute coronary syndrome, coronary spasm, myocardial...
