Population-based cohort of African Americans with presumably normal clinic blood pressure (The Jackson Heart Study)
Prevalence of masked hypertension and degree of TOD (target organ damage)
Masked hypertension is highly prevalent (approximately 33%) among African Americans with normal clinic blood pressure and is associated with greater target organ damage.
In this population-based cohort of African Americans, approximately one-third of participants with presumably normal clinic BP had masked hypertension when BP was assessed in their daily environment. Masked hypertension was accompanied by a greater degree of TOD in this cohort.
