متن کاملClinical significance of white-coat hypertension.
DEFINITION AND PREVALENCE OF WHITE-COAT HYPERTENSION: White-coat hypertension describes the phenomenon of an abnormal blood pressure reading when taken by a physician and a normal reading with ambulatory or home monitoring. The results of studies suggest that the true prevalence of white-coat hypertension may be 20%. The magnitude of the effect using either the oscillometric or the auscultatory...
متن کاملPrevalence and clinical significance of systolic impairment in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
