Central pressures and central hemodynamic values in white coat hypertensives are closer to those of normotensives than to those of controlled hypertensives for similar age, gender, and 24-h and nocturnal blood pressures
Introduction: There is disagreement whether white coat hypertensives (WCH) have different hemodynamic and structural characteristics compared to normotensives (NT) and hypertensives (HT). Methods: We compared cardiovascular prognostic markers (pulse wave velocity [PWV] and aortic stiffness index [AS...
