The aim of the present study was to determine if there is any association between white coat hypertension (WCH) and body mass index. The study was performed in two phases. In the first phase, we studied consecutive underweight patients, while in the second phase, age-matched consecutive normal
The Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study is a national, population-based examination of ∼11 000 adults with a third follow-up phase at 12 years. The aim was to use ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in a subsample (n = 508) of the main Australian Diabetes third BACKGROUND
Obesity in childhood is strongly associated with elevated arterial blood pressure and risk of hypertension. The aim of the study was the evaluation of left ventricular function in hypertensive and white coat hypertensive overweight children and teenagers.
METHODS
The study group consisted
OBJECTIVE
Our study aimed to estimate the rate of white coat hypertension (WCH) and effect, and masked hypertension in patients attending a tertiary care hospital for 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM).
METHODS
A total of 231 adult patients were referred to the Department of
Previously we estimated the prevalence of essential hypertension (EH) as around 0.1% and suggested that male gender, obesity, and strong genetic background (hypertension in parents) were risk factors for EH in a young population aged less than 30 based on targeted screening for hypertension at a
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with isolated clinic hypertension (ICH) compared with other hypertensive patients, and to evaluate the capacity of physicians to predict a diagnosis of ICH.
METHODS
A cross-sectional, comparative multicenter descriptive study was made of
BACKGROUND
In this study we investigated (i) the prevalence of white coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) in patients who had never been treated earlier with antihypertensive medication, and (ii) the association of these conditions with target organ damage.
METHODS
A total of 1,535
"White-coat" hypertension, i.e. high readings in the clinic but normal readings at home, has been demonstrated in 21-58% of hypertensive subjects without end-organ injury. The condition can be diagnosed by means of home blood pressure monitoring, which should therefore be used as a supplement to
OBJECTIVE
This mini review explored the prevalence of white-coat hypertension (WCH), which is very common in children. It results in elevated office blood pressure (BP) but normal ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) readings.
METHODS
WCH can only be identified by analysing and comparing office BP
This case presentation illustrates the importance of 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with white coat hypertension, as many progress into sustained hypertension over time. Also, it serves as a reminder not to overlook a possible underlying sleep breathing disorder in patients
Although white coat hypertension (WCH) is believed to have an effect on health, there is no term defining WCH in metabolic syndrome. Consecutive patients 20 years old or older who underwent a check-up were included. The study included 1068 cases. The prevalences of hyperbetalipoproteinemia,
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is an increasingly frequent problem among children and adolescents, and may lead to blood pressure (BP) increase. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of hypertension, white-coat and masked hypertension in obese adolescents making systematic use of both office
Background: The epidemic of obesity, along with hypertension (HT) and cardiovascular disease, is a growing contributor to global disease burden. It is postulated that obese children are predisposed to hypertension and subsequent cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Early detection and
Masked hypertension has been proven to be associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the direct associations of obesity-related anthropometric indices, including waist circumference, with masked hypertension. Participants in this
We aimed to compare the demographic, laboratory, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) parameters of patients with masked hypertension (MHT), define factors predicting MHT, and determine the ABPM parameters affecting left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in obese
