Anomalous Coronary Arteries and Myocardial Bridge: Q & A 

Thank you so much for posting this video. It is encouraging to know that cardiac surgeons are recognising that myocardial bridge is not always benign and can cause debilitating symptoms.

Thank you so much for your work,compassion, and dedication to this condition..Hero's to so many fighting this condition..

I had Dr Ghobrial do my ARCA-L angiogram yesturday for my rare anomalous artery, She was GREAT and I will be going to surgery for mine!

Would you usually recommend unroofing for a patient with a small shallow bridge but who also has plaque and a very low IFR reading which was 0.69 to 0.72 with dobutamine but was also significant at rest ?

Had both HOCM surgery performed in 2015 by Dr. Smedira and myocardial bridge w/lima bypass by Dr. Pettersson. While I’m a survivor of both conditions I personally still struggle with symptoms that are from damaged endothelial cells after decades of being trapped in the myocardium. My question is if Bypass is discouraged then why did Dr. Pettersson proceed with both unroofing and LIMA bypass for me. I’m 61 years old in 1 week.

Hello, everyone. I’ve an myocardial bridge which is 15mm and complete. I’ve an CT Angiography. They said there is no blockage in vein and no meaningful narrow between systole and diastole. After that I’ve done Nuclear stress test. Nuclear stress test resulted, there is no problem with blood flow to my heart. But I’m still having symptoms. I’ve pressure on my left shoulder and there is a numbness on my left hand. Sometimes I feel, numbness on left side of my jaw. In a day life, when I stand and slow-walking, I feel painful pressure on my chest, 4-4.5 over 10. In addition to that, I feel dizzy while I’m standing. I’m a little fatigue in a day, can’t find energy to do exercises. I’m living in Istanbul/Turkey. I got contacted with one of the best cardiologist in Turkey and his name is Afksendiyos Kalangos. I showed my reports and he said not to worry about my myocardial bridge because reports show that, I’m not feeling these thing because of MB. But why I’m having these symptoms?

I would like to join the support group! Unroofing performed in 2020

Great info! Thank you!

What state are the guys from doctors

Would you say that someone with a myocardial bridge would be safe to take an mRNA vaccine? Or should onenopt for a different type of vaccine?

I am unroofed 1 and half year ago but still need beta blockers
