Implication

Masked hypertension subtypes may refine risk stratification; leaves open whether subtype-specific management improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

Untreated and treated individuals with masked hypertension

Outcome

Target organ damage (increases in left ventricular mass, carotid artery intima-media thickness, and urinary albumin excretion)surrogate

Identifying and treating subtypes of masked hypertension is important due to its association with target organ damage and poor cardiovascular prognosis.
