Morphological study of Myocardial bridge on the Coronary arteries in human Cadavers of Indian Region

Reena Agarwal, E. Prabhakar Reddy.

Abstract :

Coronary arteries and their anches travel along the surface of heart under epicardium. However a portion of these arteries may be embedded in the muscle called MB and the submerged coronary artery is called mural coronary artery. The knowledge about the number, length and depth of myocardial can help in identifying the people at risk. Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. With the above background, the present study has been undertaken to study the prevalence of myocardial idges in the coronary arteries. The knowledge about the number, length and depth of myocardial can help in identifying the people at risk. With the above background, the present study has been undertaken to study the prevalence of myocardial idges in the coronary arteries. The study had included the 50 adult human cadavers used for the routine dissection procedure. Total 50 hearts specimens were collected. The clinical significance of myocardial idges is uncertain and in the vast majority of cases, it remains clinically silent or acts a contributing factor in the devel opment of myocardial ischaemia, circulatory problems, angina, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, systolic compression and other cardiac disturbances that may require surgical intervention.
