An Unfortunate Combination of Tachycardia and Myocardial Bridge: A Case of Myocardial Infarction Related to Atrial Flutter.

Tachyarrhythmias can lead to chest discomfort, which is usually not severe. However, some patients do complain of severe angina and show evidence of ischemia. As our case study demonstrates, one of the possible mechanisms in these situations is tachyarrhythmia in the presence of an underlying myocardial bridge, resulting in myocardial ischemia due to persistent arterial compression.
