What is mid/distal LAD and a myocardial bridge? I was told the myocardial bridge is located in the septal branch. Where is that located?

It can be related to any major coronary artery. Myocardial bridge is congenital and it is a growth of heart muscle over one of the major vessels. Visually, it would appear the artery has tunneled through part of the heart muscle.
