Description
Jingmin Li and colleagues examined sex differences in heart artery flow where a band of muscle bridges over the artery in a 2026 AI-based study. They analysed 300 patients with bridging of the main front artery, 155 with bridging alone and 145 with added plaque, plus 104 controls with normal scans.
Bridging squeezes the artery with each heartbeat, and its impact may differ by sex and by whether plaque coexists, distinctions earlier work blurred. Scan-based flow reserve plus detailed shape measures were compared across groups. Separating these patterns could stop a common, often harmless finding from being either over-treated or wrongly dismissed.
