Assessment of Myocardial Bridge by Cardiac CT: Intracoronary Transluminal Attenuation Gradient Derived from Diastolic Phase Predicts Systolic Compression.

CONCLUSION: TAG was a better predictor of MB with systolic compression ≥ 50%, compared to the length or depth of the MB. The TAG of MB with persistent diastolic compression was significantly lower than the TAG without diastolic compression.
