Özet

© 2022Myocardial bridgin in an adult with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly. It is often detected incidentally, and its true incidence in the general population is not known. Myocardial bridging may cause compression of a coronary artery, and it has been suggested that myocardial ischemia may result. Symptoms of myocardial bridging in the adult with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are syncope, palpitations, dyspnea, and chest pain. Also, arrhythmia and myocardial infarction can be seen; these can cause sudden death, especially in athletes and young people. We present a case of a 48-year-old male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocardial bridging detected by coronary computed tomography angiography who complained of chest pain.
