[24-hour blood pressure in normotensive elderly women and elderly women with white-coat hypertension].
BACKGROUND Changes in the behavior of the circadian rhythm can be deleterious, leading to target-organ damage, which suggests that they can have a prognostic significance and, eventually, can also demand therapeutic intervention. OBJECTIVE To describe and compare the circadian rhythms of blood pressure (BP) in normotensive elderly women and in those with white-coat hypertension (WCH). METHO...
متن کاملPulse pressure and cardiovascular mortality in normotensive and hypertensive subjects.
There is now increasing evidence that high pulse pressure, which is an indicator of large artery stiffness, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, especially coronary mortality, in different populations. We have recently shown in a large French population that in male subjects aged 40 to 69 years, increased pulse pressure was a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality, ...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk in white-coat and sustained hypertensive patients.
We compared cardiovascular outcome between patients with white-coat and sustained hypertension who had previously participated in the Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension (APTH) trial. Baseline characteristics, including office and ambulatory blood pressure (BP), were measured during the 2-month run-in period of the APTH trial. During follow-up, information on the ...
متن کامل["White coat" hypertension].
The literature concerning the problem of "white coat" hypertension is reviewed. The diagnosis of such hypertension is important for valid treatment policy in hypertensive patients. This diagnosis is based primarily on the data of 24-h blood pressure monitoring.
متن کاملWhite Coat Phenomenon
The term white coat hypertension (WCH) was initially introduced in 1984 to describe patients who had hypertension in the office but were normotensive with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). At the time, WCH was simply a phenomenon with nothing known about its possible effect on the development of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Three decades later, it is apparent that hypertension in the...
