[Clinical predictive factors of coronary artery stenosis located distally to myocardial bridging].

Objective: To explore the clinical predictive factors of coronary artery stenosis located distally to myocardial bridging (MB).

Methods: A total of 603 patients with MB-mural coronary artery (MB-MCA) diagnosed by angiography initially were enrolled during May 2004 to May 2009. Their angiographic and clinical data were collected according to an uniform protocol.

Angiographically evident atherosclerotic stenosis associated with myocardial bridging and risk factors for the artery stenosis located proximally to myocardial bridging.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of coronary angiographically evident atherosclerotic stenosis associated with myocardial bridging (MB) and to explore related risk factors of coronary artery stenosis located proximally to MB.

Methods: Overall, 603 patients with MB-mural coronary arteries (MB-MCAs) diagnosed by angiography initially were enrolled in this observational study during May 2004 to May 2009. One-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation test and stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed to explore related risk factors.

[Imaging and clinical characteristics of patients with coronary artery stenosis located proximally to myocardial bridging].

Objective: To explore the imaging and clinical characteristics and related risk factors of patients with coronary artery stenosis located proximally to myocardial bridging.

Methods: This study enrolled 603 patients with angiography evidenced myocardial bridging-mural coronary artery between May 2004 to May 2009. Angiographic and clinic data were collected according to uniform protocol and standard questionnaires were used to obtain patients' demographic and clinical information.
