AB  - A myocardial bridge is a segment of a coronary artery that travels into the myocardium instead of the
normal epicardial course. Although it is general perception that myocardial bridges are normal variants, patients with myocardial bridges can present with symptoms, such as exertional chest pain, that
cannot be explained by a secondary etiology. Such patients may benefit from individualized medical/
surgical therapy. This article describes the prevalence, clinical presentation, classification, evaluation,
and management of children and adults with symptomatic myocardial bridges.
