Abstract
Background
Myocardial bridge (MB) is described as an abnormal band of myocardium covering a variable portion of any coronary artery.
Methods
The current study explores the presence of MB throughout the coronary arterial system and provides a morphometric description through instrumented dissection of a sample of 100 human hearts. The study shows a higher prevalence of MB in the Mexican population than in previous reports.
Results
In the total sample (n = 100), MB was identified in 96% of it. A total of 421 MBs were observed, with a mean of 4.38 mm (± 0.28) per dissected heart. The most frequently affected vessel is the anterior interventricular artery where a total of 52 MBs were found, of the total sample studied.
Discussion
The high prevalence of MB among Mexican patients could be the result of a genetic association for this population or the neoformation of MB after birth due to lifestyle-associated factors. Further studies are required to better understand the high prevalence of MB among Mexican subjects.
期刊介绍：
Morphologie est une revue universitaire avec une ouverture médicale qui sa adresse aux enseignants, aux étudiants, aux chercheurs et aux cliniciens en anatomie et en morphologie. Vous y trouverez les développements les plus actuels de votre spécialité, en France comme a international. Le objectif de Morphologie est d?offrir des lectures privilégiées sous forme de revues générales, d?articles originaux, de mises au point didactiques et de revues de la littérature, qui permettront notamment aux enseignants de optimiser leurs cours et aux spécialistes d?enrichir leurs connaissances.
