Why the study?
Are white coat hypertension and masked hypertension associated with target organ damage (LVM index and cIMT) in patients visiting hypertension clinics?
Are white coat hypertension and masked hypertension associated with target organ damage (LVM index and cIMT) in patients visiting hypertension clinics?
Masked hypertension and confirmed hypertension are associated with increased target organ damage (LVM index and cIMT) independent of other risk factors.
Masked hypertension may warrant closer monitoring for subclinical damage; leaves open whether screening improves outcomes in clinic patients.
