ABSTRACT: Introduction: Myocardial bridging can be defined as a congenital coronary anomaly in which a segment of coronary artery is tunneled in the myocardial wall. In several studies, it has been proved that myocardial bridges are associated with Ventricular arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia and infarction. Materials & Methods: The present study was undertaken in the Department of Anatomy, SMS Medical College included 100 cadaveric human hearts. After simple dissecting procedure morphological aspects of myocardial bridges and tunneled arteries were noted. Results- Out of 100 examined cadaveric human hearts, myocardial bridges were found in 40 hearts. Myocardial bridges were more observed on left coronary artery than the right coronary artery. Posterior interventricular branch in both coronary arteries had maximum number of myocardial bridges. The maximum and minimum lengths of myocardial bridge – 57.01 mm 5 mm were observed respectively. Conclusion: The precise knowledge of myocardial bridges is required for the angiographers and cardiothoracic surgeons for an efficient management of coronary disease and other cardiac ailments.
