The usual segment involved was mid left anterior descending artery (LAD). The frequency of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary artery with bridged segment was 30.4%. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The frequency of myocardial muscle bridging in our study population was 15.7% with mid-LAD being the most common segment involved. Moreover, there was no significant association of atherosclerotic coronary plaque formation in bridged coronary artery.</p> <br> <p> </p> <br> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><strong><em> CTCA, myocardial bridging, coronary plaque, LAD</em></strong></p> <br> <p> </p> </div> |
