ABSTRACT
Most patients with hypertension and no definable cause are said to primary or essential hypertension, while other patients with hypertension and specific causes are siad to secondary hypertension. Approximately 5% fo patients with hypertension have specific causes. The patients of secondary hypertension should not be ignored for the reason: The elimination of cause for hypertension can normalize the blood pressure. Juxtaglomerular cell tumor is a rare condition of secondary hypertension, with only approximately 70 cases reported to date. The higher the level of blood pressure, the most likely that various cardiovascular diseases will develop prematurely through acceleration of atherosclerosis. But Acute myocardial infarction in young hypertensives has been reported rarely. We describe the rare case of a young patient with acute myocardial infarction associated with secondary hypertension by renal juxtaglomerular cell tumor.
