Utility of the AngelMed Guardian System in myocardial bridging: a case report

We describe the first documented case of the Guardian device detecting acute ST-segment changes that were secondary to myocardial bridging. The Guardian device appropriately documented an ischemic event not appreciated with initial EKG or troponin testing. With the assistance of the Guardian device, we were able to rapidly identify MB as the cause for the ischemic EKG changes and subsequent abnormal stress test, optimize medical management, and prevent recurrent atypical chest pain along with office and hospital visits.
