Discuss Myocardial Bridge and Athletes Selecting

Coronary myocardial bridge is refers to artery or branch of coronary artery walking in myocardial fibers, this portion of myocardial fibers called myocardial bridge, covering in coronary myocardial bridge section called the mural coronary artery. For a long time, myocardial bridge is regarded as a kind of congenital benign abnormality, with the development of inspection techniques, a lot of research report points out that the myocardial bridge may cause acute coronary syndrome, severe arrhythmia, even sudden death. Especially under the condition of movement, myocardial hypoxia ischemia will be more obvious. And arrhythmia often happens in long engaged in the strict training of athletes. In this essay, on the base of reading literature, through the interpretation of the myocardial bridge morphological structure and hemodynamic characteristics, and the characteristic of the athlete's heart, think that the selection of the athletes should check the myocardial bridge, in order to provide the assist for athletes selecting.
