Prevalence and predictors of white-coat hypertension in a large database of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to determine both the prevalence of white-coat effect and white-coat hypertension (WCH) and which selected clinical variables were predictors of WCH. A total of 2462 patients underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring either in borderline hypertension (group 1) or for assessment of antihypertensive treatment (group 2) or for hypotension (group 3). In the overall population 33.0% of patients showed WCH, 32.8% in group 1 and 37.0% in group 2. In multivariate analysis, sex and grade of hypertension were independent predictors of WCH in groups 1 and 2.

To evaluate the prevalence of 'white-coat' hypertension in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension, 255 subjects (131 males and 124 females) underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Patients with 24-h systolic and diastolic blood pressure < 135/85 mmHg were classified as white-coat hypertensives and the remaining as sustained hypertensives. On the assumption that white-coat hyper...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of white-coat hypertension (WCH) is considerable in patients referred with elevated office blood pressure. Failure to recognise this phenomenon can lead to the inappropriate use of antihypertensive medications. We undertook this study to determine the profile of patients with WCH. METHODS Baseline clinic and daytime ambulatory blood pressures were available from 5716...
