Simplified geometry of the myocardial bridge. Schematic anatomy of a double myocardial bridge. The control segments Ω_n are equally spaced. Observation locations for haemodynamic properties are in the centre of each segment at x_sn, transitions between the segments are at x_tn. The transitions length between the segments is denoted by t_ln. The graphs above each segment illustrate the mean flow velocity u_sn. To illustrate the deformation we have indicated two cross-sections B - B and C - C in the circular and non-circular segments respectively (see Figure 3).
