Myocardial bridge in a child with cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation: a bridge over troubled water?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2023
Abstract
Resuscitated cardiac arrest in a child triggers a comprehensive workup to identify an aetiology and direct management. The presence of a myocardial bridge does not automatically imply causation. Careful determination of the haemodynamic significance of the myocardial bridge is critical to avoid an unnecessary sternotomy and to provide appropriate treatment.
