Incident Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Masked Hypertension

Incident Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Masked Hypertension

In the PAMELA study (Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate e Loro Associazioni), clinical variables, an echocardiogram, as well as office and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) were simultaneously measured at baseline and after a 10-year follow-up. The study design allowed us to assess the value of masked hyp...

Zusammenfassung:In the PAMELA study (Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate e Loro Associazioni), clinical variables, an echocardiogram, as well as office and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) were simultaneously measured at baseline and after a 10-year follow-up. The study design allowed us to assess the value of masked hypertension (MH) as a predictor of new-onset left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The present analysis included 803 participants without LVH at baseline (left ventricular mass index
