Key Result

White coat effect was independently linked to higher peripheral arterial stiffness and increased cardiovascular disease risk, especially in women.

Key Points

This research examines the relationship between the white coat effect (WCE) and hypertension on arterial stiffness.
Analyzed data from individuals exhibiting the white coat effect and those who do not.
Measured peripheral arterial stiffness and assessed cardiovascular disease risk.
Recorded blood pressure parameters to assess the J-shaped relationship between arterial pressure indices.
Individuals with WCE exhibit greater peripheral arterial stiffness, particularly in women.
A J-shaped relationship between arterial pressure indices was observed in both WCE groups.
WCE independently correlates with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Structured PICO

Is the white coat effect associated with increased arterial stiffness and cardiovascular disease risk?

Population

Individuals with and without the white coat effect (WCE)

Intervention

White coat effect (WCE)

Comparator

Non-WCE individuals

Outcome

Peripheral arterial stiffness and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risksurrogate

The white coat effect is associated with increased peripheral arterial stiffness and independently predicts higher cardiovascular disease risk.

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%

Abstract

Individuals with the WCE showed greater peripheral arterial stiffness, especially among women. A J-shaped relationship between API and PP was observed in both WCE and non-WCE individuals. WCE was independently associated with a higher CVD risk.
