Hypertension, white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension in Australia: findings from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study 3.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study is a national, population-based examination of ∼11 000 adults with a third follow-up phase at 12 years. The aim was to use ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in a subsample (n = 508) of the main Australian Diabetes third

Evaluation of left ventricular function in overweight children and teenagers with arterial hypertension and white coat hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity in childhood is strongly associated with elevated arterial blood pressure and risk of hypertension. The aim of the study was the evaluation of left ventricular function in hypertensive and white coat hypertensive overweight children and teenagers. METHODS The study group consisted

White coat hypertension and masked hypertension among omani patients attending a tertiary hospital for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to estimate the rate of white coat hypertension (WCH) and effect, and masked hypertension in patients attending a tertiary care hospital for 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM). METHODS A total of 231 adult patients were referred to the Department of

Characteristics of young-onset white coat hypertension identified by targeted screening for hypertension at a university health check-up.

Previously we estimated the prevalence of essential hypertension (EH) as around 0.1% and suggested that male gender, obesity, and strong genetic background (hypertension in parents) were risk factors for EH in a young population aged less than 30 based on targeted screening for hypertension at a

Clinical characteristics of isolated clinic hypertension.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with isolated clinic hypertension (ICH) compared with other hypertensive patients, and to evaluate the capacity of physicians to predict a diagnosis of ICH. METHODS A cross-sectional, comparative multicenter descriptive study was made of

Target organ damage in "white coat hypertension" and "masked hypertension".

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND In this study we investigated (i) the prevalence of white coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) in patients who had never been treated earlier with antihypertensive medication, and (ii) the association of these conditions with target organ damage. METHODS A total of 1,535

[White coat hypertension and blood pressure measurement at home].

Only registered users can translate articles

"White-coat" hypertension, i.e. high readings in the clinic but normal readings at home, has been demonstrated in 21-58% of hypertensive subjects without end-organ injury. The condition can be diagnosed by means of home blood pressure monitoring, which should therefore be used as a supplement to

White-coat hypertension from a paediatric perspective.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE This mini review explored the prevalence of white-coat hypertension (WCH), which is very common in children. It results in elevated office blood pressure (BP) but normal ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) readings. METHODS WCH can only be identified by analysing and comparing office BP

Lifestyle Approaches to White Coat Hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

This case presentation illustrates the importance of 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with white coat hypertension, as many progress into sustained hypertension over time. Also, it serves as a reminder not to overlook a possible underlying sleep breathing disorder in patients

White coat hypertension in definition of metabolic syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although white coat hypertension (WCH) is believed to have an effect on health, there is no term defining WCH in metabolic syndrome. Consecutive patients 20 years old or older who underwent a check-up were included. The study included 1068 cases. The prevalences of hyperbetalipoproteinemia,

The impact of the degree of obesity on the discrepancies between office and ambulatory blood pressure values in youth.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Obesity is an increasingly frequent problem among children and adolescents, and may lead to blood pressure (BP) increase. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of hypertension, white-coat and masked hypertension in obese adolescents making systematic use of both office

Predictive Model for Ambulatory Hypertension Based on Office Blood Pressure in Obese Children

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: The epidemic of obesity, along with hypertension (HT) and cardiovascular disease, is a growing contributor to global disease burden. It is postulated that obese children are predisposed to hypertension and subsequent cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Early detection and

The association between masked hypertension and waist circumference as an obesity-related anthropometric index for metabolic syndrome: the Ohasama study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Masked hypertension has been proven to be associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the direct associations of obesity-related anthropometric indices, including waist circumference, with masked hypertension. Participants in this

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters in obese children and adolescents with masked hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

We aimed to compare the demographic, laboratory, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) parameters of patients with masked hypertension (MHT), define factors predicting MHT, and determine the ABPM parameters affecting left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in obese
