The severity of symptoms induced by myocardial bridges has been related to the localization of the bridge, its length and depth, and the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy or an increased intraventricular pressure (8).
Noncompacted myocardium has also been described in association with congenital cardiac malformations that cause intraventricular pressure overload or ischemia (obstructive lesions of the RV or LV outflow tract and congenital coronary anomalies).
Furthermore, it decreased the conduction velocity of atrial impulse (17 [+ or -] 3%); reduced the intraventricular pressure (86 [+ or -] 6%), and increased the conduction time between the right atrium and the His bundle (27 [+ or -] 6.
