Psychophysiological reactivity and cardiac end-organ changes in white coat hypertension.
This study aimed 1) to assess whether patients with an exaggerated blood pressure response to the doctor's presence ("white coat" effect) also display a pattern of enhanced blood pressure reactivity to mental stress and physical exercise and 2) to determine the presence of left ventricular structural and filling abnormalities in patients with white coat hypertension. We studied 56 (40 men) cons...
متن کاملWhite-coat hypertension is hypertension.
The article in this issue from Puato et al1 in Padova, Italy, is important because it was prospective, with 5 years of follow-up, and the hypertensive patients were never treated. They showed that carotid intima-media thickness was greater at baseline in white-coat hypertensive subjects (WCHs), increased more during follow-up than in normotensive subjects, and was not different in WCHs with sus...
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 کاملDecoding white coat hypertension
There is arguably no less understood or more intriguing problem in hypertension that the "white coat" condition, the standard concept of which is significantly blood pressure reading obtained by medical personnel of authoritative standing than that obtained by more junior and less authoritative personnel and by the patients themselves. Using hospital-initiated ambulatory blood pressure monitori...
متن کاملIs There Any Correlation between Insulin Resistance and Nitrate Plasma Concentration in White Coat Hypertensive Patients?
We evaluated a relationship between nitric oxide plasma correlation and insulin resistance in white coat hypertensive patients. Patients were screened for white coat hypertension using an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was used to assess insulin resistance, and plasma nitrate concentrations were determined by chemilumine...
