Prognostic value of myocardial bridging versus non-obstructive CAD: a long-term follow-up study.

ABSTRACT: We aim to investigate if myocardial bridging (MB) provides predictive value beyond its association with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) burden in a long-term follow-up and multicenter study. This study included 4176 consecutive patients with suspected CAD underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) at two hospitals in Wuhan, China, between September 2016 and December 2017 for finial analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative event-free survival of non-obstructive CAD burden and MB burden classifications, respectively. Further, cox regression models were applied to calculate hazard ratios (HR) for increasing non-obstructive CAD and MB burden classifications. In total, during the 6.04 years (interquartile range 5.73-6.32) follow-up, 276 (6.61
