I was, I had a 5 cm myocardial bridge which was unroofed on 12/4/14. My story is too long to post here but MB is a very serious condition and the care I received at the Mayo Clinic by Dr. Lerman was excellent. I am currently working with the team at Stanford as I live in the San Francisco area. If you have any questions I would be happy to talk to you or anyone else. I had a very significant bridge and while the surgery has not completely corrected the endothelial dysfunction the bridge caused it has made a huge improvement in my life. I am back to competitive Ironman competition.

I was just diagnosed with MB and my primary doctor and Cardiologist don't seem very concerned about my condition even though I have chronic chest pain and blood pressure issues. How do I go about contacting Mayo Clinic for scheduling an appointment?

Hey Kyle , my name is Dylan gang , I have been suffering from MB for 10 years , i went to Stanford med and they told me about you , with out giving me your name .. any chance you could reach me ? Would mean the world ..

Hello, I am in Las Vegas but was in Bay Area 3 years ago diagnosed with MB after 30 years of symptoms. Last week I flew back to Stanford and Dr Tremmel performed a second cath. for more accurate data. I know Stanford pops up everywhere when doing a search but Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic also have treated this condition. Since having surgery at Mayo and subsequent treatment at Stanford, which of the hospitals is best in your opinion. My visit last week to Stanford left me with a feeling that Sr. Shnitger Tremmel and surgeon Dr. ?? may be of the best but not so comfortable with the Cardio Department as a whole as I believe Cleveland would likely be best. What do you think and would really like to chat live if you would. Jeff

Hello, I was diagnosed with Myocardial bridging. I don’t have high cholesterol or high blood pressure. I just started having a few incidents. I get a stabbing pain once in a while on left side under breast bone. And one time a sharp pain on left side. I need a specialist in New York Long Island to examine me and let me know what’s next. The cardiologist I saw prescribed me 2.5mg of Norvasac and 20mg of statin
