My husband has 2cm myocardial bridge. oxygen starved. 1 hospital says surgery needed. 2nd opinion (brilliant dr) is stumped. any recommendations on a dr in nyc that specializes in this? current cardiologist searching for 3rd opinion dr for us, too?

Does "oxygen starved" mean a myocardial defect during nuclear stress test? If your husband have symptoms of coronary insufficiency such as chest pain, cardiac arrhythmia, poor physical performance, etc. he will need treatment, either with medicine or surgery.
