Has anyone been treated for Myocardial Bridging at Mayo?

please I need help 5 years ago I was diagnose with MB. I am to the point where I cannot walk a block with out chest pain lack of breath ect. 2 weeks ago after a ekg my heart doctor sent me to have a emergency cath done. He said by the ekg he felt I have several blockages. After the ekg he could not find anything except the bridge. He could not explain the results because they did not line up with the ekg. I again asked him about the MB he again denies that it could be a problem although he has had me on blockers for the past 5 years to help the problem. He firmly thinks mb are harmless and nothing to worry about. Can anyone help me find a doctor in my area Baltimore that has delt with this. I have failed every stress test and cath I have had in the past 5 years. I looked at all my records from each cath for the past 5 years and the all have the same dianiose on them MB.

Hello, I have been recently diagnosed with myocardial Bridge (moderate to severe). Do you know of any doctors that deal with this condition in New York or Cleveland clinic? I don’t seem to be able to find any doctor that is knowledgeable about this and my doctor does not think is a dangerous thing to have m. Thank you

Glad to have found this group on Mayo Connect and thank you, Daniel777 for the FB support group recommendation. I was diagnosed as having an MB in late 2020 that caused a small heart attack(no damage done). I had been raking and blowing leaves the day before and feeling increasingly short of breath and weak to the point where I would have to sit down after just a few steps. I went inside, rested and felt better but still worried about my symptoms that night. The next morning, while going upstairs, I had the classic signals of a heart attack in a woman: acute shortness of breath,fatigue,cold sweats,pain in my jaw/neck and shoulders(an later chest pressure) and dizziness. The emergency room contacted my cardiologist who confirmed it was a heart attack which he felt was caused by my newly diagnosed MB(LAD ran through a section of intramyocardial). I had no atherosclerosis. I was kept overnight for further testing and as a precaution and was prescribed metoprolol 25mg and a baby aspirin daily.
I’ve had no recurrence that I know of other than sob during exercise. In retrospect I did faint after dizziness and heavy cardio the year before shattering my humerus. My cardiologist doesn’t seem at all worried about further trouble with my MB & said I can go 2 years now between checkups. One other possible symptom I have is frequent extreme sweating from the head which seems to be hereditary too as a cousin and nephew have it too. Wondering if, since I live in Cleveland, I should schedule an appointment with Dr. Johanna Ghabrial?

I have a myocardial bridge in the LAD. I only found out 4 years ago that I have one. I am now 71. I have had issues my entire life with mine. Whenever I was around age 1, my parents had to rush me to a hospital and the doctors thought I was having a seizure. Until my general practitioner in Mobile, AL noticed a problem with my EKG and ordered a heart cath and found mine. I made so many trips to the ER, because I thought I was having a heart attack. They could never find anything. I am very interested in communicating with anyone that has a myocardial bridge. I would like your advice on where to go to see a doctor that knows about it. I can't find a doctor in Mobile that has any other patients with Myocardial Bridge.

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.
