Key result
Masked hypertension was present in 66% of normotensive patients with diabetes and was significantly associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (P=0.001) and nephropathy (P=0.008).
Why the study?
In patients with diabetes, unrecognized hypertension is a serious risk factor for the development and progression of chronic complications.

ABPM may identify masked hypertension warranting monitoring in normotensive T2DM; association with LVH and nephropathy remains hypothesis-generating.

Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring detect masked hypertension and predict hypertension-mediated organ damage in normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
p-value: p=0.001
ABPM reveals a high prevalence of masked hypertension (66%) in normotensive diabetic patients, which is significantly associated with target organ damage such as concentric LVH and nephropathy.
Gupta et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=150). Masked hypertension and abnormal dipping patterns was evaluated on Prevalence of masked hypertension and association with concentric LVH and nephropathy (p=0.001). Masked hypertension was present in 66% of normotensive patients with diabetes and was significantly associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (P=0.001) and nephropathy (P=0.008).
