Introduction
Video supplement to “An Unfortunate Combination of Tachycardia and Myocardial Bridge: A Case of Myocardial Infarction Related to Atrial Flutter,” by Yun, et al. (February 2022 Clinical Images).
Tachyarrhythmias can lead to chest discomfort, which is usually not severe. However, some patients do complain of severe angina and show evidence of ischemia. This angiographic series demonstrates that one of the possible mechanisms in these situations is tachyarrhythmia in the presence of an underlying myocardial bridge, resulting in myocardial ischemia due to persistent arterial compression.
