CASE OF DEATH FROM ACUTE CORONARY INSUFFICIENCY DUE TO ABNORMAL TOPOGRAPHY OF ANTERIOR INTERVENTRICULAR BRANCH OF THE LEFT CORONARY ARTERY

Myocardial bridges are referred to abnormal topography of the coronary arteries in which they are partially located in the myocardium but not under epicardium. Patients with myocardial bridges usually do not have prominent symptoms. But abnormal location of the coronary arteries is often accompanied by disturbances of coronary blood flow, and consequently this can induce exertional angina, acute coronary insufficiency, arrhythmias, syncope and even sudden death. In this study a case of a young man´s death from acute coronary insufficiency due to abnormal topography of the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery is described.
