Myocardial bridging presenting as myocardial ischaemia induced cardiac arrest: a case report.

Published in: BMC cardiovascular disorders (2021)
We report a rare case of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest that might be caused by significant myocardial bridging-induced myocardial ischaemia, which was objectively confirmed by echocardiography and heart MRI. Although myocardial bridging is often overlooked as an aetiology for sudden cardiac death, this case highlights the importance of expanding the differential diagnosis to myocardial bridging in the work-up for the cause of sudden cardiac death.
