Does myocardial bridge stenosis develop quickly

In general, myocardial bridge stenosis does not develop very quickly, and most patients can be asymptomatic for a long time, while a few more serious patients can show signs of coronary artery disease. Myocardial bridges, i.e. coronary arteries traveling within the myocardium. Coronary angiography shows that the lumen of the segment is compressed during systole and returns to normal during diastole, i.e. the “milking phenomenon”. It is generally slow to develop, but if the arteries themselves are hardened, plaque formation tends to worsen, and as age increases, angina-like symptoms, arrhythmias, and even myocardial infarction may occur. Preferred drug therapy, beta-blockers and non-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists can reduce wall coronary artery compression and increase coronary artery filling time by decreasing myocardial contractility, slowing down heart rate, and prolonging diastole, thus improving coronary artery and myocardial perfusion, and reducing the occurrence of myocardial ischemia. Surgery can perform myocardial release of myocardial bridge segments or coronary artery bypass surgery. If there is such a situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the relevant examination under the guidance of professional doctors, and receive standardized treatment.
