Abstract

We present a case of myocardial infarction in a young female with reninoma induced hypertension and myocardial bridging. Reninoma is a rare and curable cause of secondary hypertension. Currently developed multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has permitted better evaluation of myocardial infarction and myocardial bridging. Myocardial infarction associated with reninoma and myocardial bridging has not been reported, and we report this interesting case.
