Home blood pressure readings by self-monitoring (14 readings in 7 days) have been compared to readings taken in the clinic in 937 participants of the Tecumseh Blood Pressure Study. In the absence of firm criteria "hypertension at home" was defined as having home readings in the upper decile of the
BACKGROUND
Patients with white coat hypertension comprise a substantial portion of the hypertensive population. Previous reports have shown that moderate-intensity regular exercise training in patients with mild hypertension usually reduces blood pressure (BP), but there is a lack of data regarding
OBJECTIVE
To examine the prevalence of white coat hypertension (WCH) and white coat effect (WCE) in a general practice. Background and biochemical characteristics, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, microalbuminuria, ECG, smoking habits, height and weight of
Although white coat hypertension has been widely studied in the last years, its risk profile is not yet completely clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate circulating homocysteine levels, an emerging cardiovascular risk factor, in subjects with white coat and sustained hypertension. We selected
OBJECTIVE
to understand the role and significance of WCH in definition of the metabolic syndrome.
METHODS
the study was performed in the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of the Dumlupinar University between August 2005 and March 2007. We took consecutive patients at and above the age of 20 years. Their
Home blood pressure monitoring is a useful tool for clinical management of patients with hypertension. Its major advantages are the ease with which the techniques can be learned, reproducibility of values, sensitivity of measurement and availability of normotensive data. In spite of the ability to
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present was to study the frequency and characteristics of white coat hypertension (WCH) in a series of individuals with slight hypertension (SH) consecutively attended, as well as to evaluate the degree of organic involvement and the presence of other cardiovascular risk
Metabolic disturbances such as hyperinsulinaemia, dislipoproteinaemia and glucose intolerance are often associated with essential hypertension and markedly affect cardiovascular morbidity in hypertensive patients. In order to shed some light on the prognostic significance of white coat hypertension
During a survey of young subjects not receiving treatment for hypertension in Tecumseh, Michigan, clinic and self-monitored blood pressures taken at home (14 readings in 7 days) were obtained in 737 subjects (387 men, 350 women, average age 31.5 years). Hypertension in the clinic was diagnosed if
OBJECTIVE
We tried to understand whether or not there was a gender difference in coronary artery interventions in coronary heart disease (CHD) cases in the present study.
METHODS
The study was performed in two phases. The first phase was performed at the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of the
BACKGROUND
Between 20% and 30% of patients with clinically diagnosed hypertension have normal blood pressure (BP) values during automated ambulatory 24-hour BP monitoring. It has not been clear, however, whether these patients can be regarded as normotensive or whether they should be treated in the
Home blood pressure (HBP) measurement is useful for detecting morning hypertension, white coat as well as masked hypertension. However, target BP levels based on HBP remain unknown. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between HBP measurement and office BP control status
BACKGROUND
The prevalence of hypertension continues to rise in the pediatric population. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of reports on serum arginine vasopressin and its derivative, copeptin, in blood pressure control, but its role is still unclear. The objective of this study
OBJECTIVE
Blood pressure (BP) control has been extensively studied in patients attended in primary care but reports in the hospital setting, which includes referral units, are scarce. The aim was to evaluate the degree of BP control in hypertensive patients attended in referral units.
METHODS
We
Hypertension is known to be strongly associated with multiple metabolic abnormalities. A recent population survey carried out in Italy (the Gubbio study) involving 5,376 individuals showed that, up to the age of 64 years, hypertensive men were more markedly overweight (body mass index > or = 30)
