High prevalence of Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies in white-coat hypertensives

Previous studies have linked essential sustained hypertension with Chlamydia pneumoniae ( C. pneumoniae) and changes in intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries. The aim of this study was to examine if similar associations exist in subjects with white-coat hypertension. C. pneumoniae IgA and...
