Uloga višeslojne kompjutorizirane tomografije u dijagnostici i procjeni kliničke važnosti koronarnih arterija intramiokardnoga tijeka

Abstract

Myocardial “bridging” (MB) is an entity known for more than 200 years. However, the frequency of MB-and still is unknown, we do not know whether the MB is hereditary or not, what is its clinical significance; there are no guidelines on how to diagnose it, and whether it should be and how to treat. The aim of this investigation was to determine the frequency of MB-a in patients with clinically suspected coronary artery disease and assess the clinical significance of MB based on MSCT coronary angiography, to investigate the relationship of the clinical finding with the characteristics of MB and the possible impact on future therapeutic strategy and future guidelines of the MB
