Myocardial (muscle) bridges are a common congenital anomaly of coronary arteries which is characterized by running of a coronary artery segment under the myocardial layer. According to literary data, the most frequent localization of myocardial bridges is observed in the middle segment of the anterior interventricular branch. In the majority of cases, the presence of a muscular bridge is not accompanied by clinical manifestations, and patients have a favorable long-term prognosis.Under certain circumstances, the course of the intramural course of the coronary artery may be accompanied by development of acute coronary syndrome, a sudden cardiac death. The main method of the diagnosis is coronary angiography. The article presents brief data on the prevalence, clinical picture, diagnosis, treatment of patients with myocardial bridges. Also, it describes a clinical case of a patient havinga myocardial bridge in the middle segment of the anterior interventricular branch with characteristic clinical symptoms confirmed by tool research methods.
