Pathomorphology of Myocardial Bridges and Their Role in the Pathogenesis of Coronary Disease

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The hearts of patients who died of coronary disease and had myocardial bridges were studied by postmortem coronary angiography, cardioventriculography, and complex pathomorphological analysis. The relationship between the incidence and pathomorphology of myocardial bridges, on the one hand, and the type of blood supply, segmentary topography of the major coronary arteries, geometry of the left ventricle, and coronary changes in different forms of coronary disease, on the other, was analyzed. Diagnostic criteria were developed and the main components of the etiology, patho- and thanatogenesis in coronary patients with coronary arteries not affected by atherosclerosis are presented.
