DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12774
Abstract: Although Myocardial bridge (MB) is known as a benign condition, it has been demonstrated to be associated with cardiac arrhythmias and poor outcomes. Frontal QRS‐T angle (fQRSTa) is a novel indicator of repolarization and depolarization… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11748-020-01335-0
Abstract: The myocardial bridge (MB) refers to the epicardial coronary artery being abnormally covered by the superficial myocardium and running within the cardiac muscle. Surgery should be considered as an optimal choice for severe symptomatic MBs… read more here.
