Masked Hypertension and Target Organ Damage in Treated Hypertensive Patients

Recent studies have shown that an elevated ambulatory or home blood pressure (BP) in the absence of office BP—a phenomenon called masked hypertension—is associated with poor cardiovascular prognosis. However, it remains to be elucidated how masked hypertension modifies target organ damage in treated...

Zusammenfassung:	Recent studies have shown that an elevated ambulatory or home blood pressure (BP) in the absence of office BP—a phenomenon called masked hypertension—is associated with poor cardiovascular prognosis. However, it remains to be elucidated how masked hypertension modifies target organ damage in treated hypertensive patients. A total of 332 outpatients with chronically treated essential hypertension were enrolled in the present study. Patients were classified into four groups according to office (
