Are white coat hypertension and masked hypertension associated with target organ damage (LVM index and cIMT) in patients visiting hypertension clinics?
Patients who visit hypertension outpatient clinics
Masked hypertension (MH) and White coat hypertension (WCH)
Target organ damage (LVM index and cIMT)surrogate
Masked hypertension and confirmed hypertension are associated with increased target organ damage (LVM index and cIMT) independent of other risk factors.
WCH and MH are common conditions in patients who visit hypertension outpatient clinics. Confirmed hypertension and MH are accompanied by increased LVM index and cIMT, even after adjusting for other risk factors.
