An unusual left anterior descending artery myocardial bridging
A 43 year-old man was admitted in our intensive care unit in June 2016 for transient (10 min) acute chest pain highly suggestive of angina that appeared for an unusual intense effort. He has no personal history and none of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Baseline electrocardiogram was normal and without repolarization abnormalities at rest. High sensitivity cardiac troponin was undetectable (inferior to 4 ng/mL). Trans-thoracic echocardiography found mild wall motion abnormalities of the apical and septo-apical segments but left ventricle ejection fraction remained subnormal at rest.
