I Brazilian Position Paper on Prehypertension, White Coat Hypertension and Masked Hypertension: Diagnosis and Management

چکیده
Repeated BP measurement at the office allows the diagnosis of hypertension and normotension. To better assess BP behavior, there are methods that analyze BP by using a higher number of measurements, minimizing interferences of the environment, situation and observer. Those alternatives are as follows: 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM); and dwelling BP measurement [home BP monitoring (HBPM) and BP self-measurement (BPSM)]. Based on those methods, two other BP classifications were adopted: white coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH)1,3-5 (Figure 1).

Masked hypertension and white-coat hypertension in chronic kidney disease: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Poor hypertension control observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may in part be due to the suboptimal assessment of BP with clinic BP measurements alone. The goal of this meta-analysis was to estimate the prevalence and determinants of white-coat and masked hypertension in the adult CKD population. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Article...
متن کاملPrevalence and predictors of masked hypertension detected by home blood pressure monitoring in children and adolescents: the Arsakeion School study.
BACKGROUND Studies using ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring have shown that in children and adolescents masked hypertension (MH) is not uncommon. This school-based study investigated the prevalence and the characteristics of MH diagnosed using home BP measurements. METHODS A total of 765 subjects aged 6-18 years were assessed with office (two visits, six readings) and home BP measureme...
متن کاملNocturnal Hypertension and Attenuated Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping is Common in Pediatric Lupus
Hypertension is an important manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but reports of prevalence vary between 20-70% in published reports of adult and pediatric patients. For both children and adults with SLE, the clinical diagnosis and management of hypertension has traditionally been based on guidelines developed for the general population. In clinical trials, the criteria used for ...

متن کاملResistant hypertension, case based approach to diagnosis and management: case report
Background: Resistant hypertension is defined when the blood pressure remains elevated above the therapeutic target levels despite the use of three antihypertensive agents including calcium channel blocker (CCB), renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blocker and a diuretic. These drugs should be used at maximally tolerated doses and white coat effect and non-adherence should also be excluded. In this ...
