Core Tip	A great revolution has happened in imaging of coronary arteries with multi-detector computed tomography. Myocardial bridging is considered a benign anomaly, but in exceptional incidences, it is associated with clinical manifestations. By reviewing the current literature, there is no research studying the prevalence of myocardial bridging (MB) in a Saudi population. This study is considered the first to investigate the prevalence of MB in a Saudi population and its clinical significance in 350 patients. The study highlighted that coronary computed tomographic angiography offers an excellent way to detect and characterize MB and the national prevalence of MB and its anatomical and clinical findings in Saudi Arabia is comparable to worldwide prevalence.
