A 48 year old male presented with effort angina, TMT +ve, CT CAG was done, invasive CAG not done yet. I am desperately trying to demonstrate the likely cause for angina in TEE which is already beautifully demonstrated in CTCAG.

Understanding regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) starts with this: the 17-segment LV model. It divides the left ventricle into basal, mid, apical segments for precise localization of dysfunction. Why does it matter? RWMA refers to areas of the LV wall that contract

Myocardial Bridging: A Hidden Cause of Angina 🫀 Myocardial bridging occurs when a segment of a coronary artery, most commonly the left anterior descending (LAD), tunnels through the heart muscle instead of running on the surface.
