Key result
Masked nocturnal hypertension linked to increased CVD risk.
Why the study?
Is masked nocturnal hypertension (MNH) associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk?
Is masked nocturnal hypertension (MNH) associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk?
Masked nocturnal hypertension is positively associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, suggesting it is a relevant phenotype for risk stratification.

Supports nocturnal ABPM to detect MNH and refine CVD risk stratification; confirms its relevance as a high-risk phenotype.
This meta-analysis suggests a positive association between MNH and increased CVD risk, though the limited number of studies warrants caution in over-interpretation. While MNH appears to be a relevant phenotype for cardiovascular risk stratification, further large-scale prospective research is required to confirm the magnitude of this effect and its clinical utility in routine hypertension management.
Verma et al. (2026) studied this question. Masked nocturnal hypertension is positively associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, suggesting it is a relevant phenotype for cardiovascular risk stratification.
