Aim. The prevalence of sustained arterial hypertension, white coat hypertension (isolated clinical arterial hypertension) and masked hypertension (isolated ambulatory arterial hypertension) among employed women of Kazan was studied. Cardiovascular risk factors in these conditions were evaluated. Methods. The study cohort included 108 patients. The examination was conducted at the jobsite and included questionnaires, blood pressure measurements, anthropometry, fasting glucose level and lipid profile examination. Assessment of blood pressure in everyday conditions was performed by 24-hour monitoring of blood pressure or home blood pressure measurements over 4 days. Results. The prevalence of sustained hypertension in the study cohort was 31.6%, white-coat hypertension - 4.6%, masked hypertension - 13.9%. Among patients with white coat hypertension and masked hypertension most of the patients had two or more cardiovascular risk factors; the distribution of risk factors number in these groups was similar to a group of patients with sustained hypertension. Conclusion. Among the employed women the prevalence of sustained arterial hypertension was high, the prevalence of masked hypertension was quite high, the prevalence of white coat hypertension was lower than expected.

Abstract Background and Aims Arterial hypertension is main cause of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hemodialysis patients. Masked hypertension is associated with asymptomatic organ damage, including the development of LVH. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension in hemodialysis patients. Method Hemodialysis patients (n=88; 42 males, 46 females, mean age was 51.7±13.3 years) were studied. Office blood pressure measurements were performed before and after hemodialysis within 30 days. Home Blood Pressure Measurements (HBPM) was collected in the morning and in the evening during 4 weeks including hemodialysis session days. 24 hours blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed in the next day after hemodialysis. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse pressure (PP) were analyzed. White-coat hypertension was diagnosed when blood pressure elevated in the office, but was normal when was measured by ABPM, HBPM, or both. Masked hypertension was determined when blood pressure was normal in the office, but increased when was measured by HBPM or ABPM. The definitions of the European Society of Cardiology (2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension) were used for the diagnosis of hypertension according to office, ambulatory, and home blood pressure levels. Echocardiographic evaluation was performed on the day after dialysis and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated. Results Arterial hypertension was diagnosed by office blood pressure measurements in 39 (44.3%) patients. Arterial hypertension was defined by ABPM (mean 24h BP > or = 130 and 80 mmHg) in 48 (54.5%) patients. The number of non-dipper patients was 59 (67.0%). According to HBPM arterial hypertension was observed in 61 (69.3%) patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy was detected in 71 (80.7%) patients. Mean LVMI was 140.5±43.0 g/m2. According to the results of three methods of blood pressure measuring arterial hypertension was diagnosed in 53 (60.2%) patients, white-coat hypertension was observed in 5 (5.7%) patients, masked hypertension – in 19 (21.6%) patients. Conclusion According to office blood pressure measurements arterial hypertension was diagnosed in 44.3% hemodialysis patients. Masked hypertension was often observed in hemodialysis patients and when using not only ABPM, but also HBPM was detected in 21.6% of patients. The results indicate the importance of using not only ABPM, but also HBPM in hemodialysis patients.

BACKGROUND White-coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) can increase the risk of target organ damage. Home blood pressure monitoring is an important method for detecting WCH and MH. However, the prevalence and risk factors of WCH and MH in China has been rarely reported. OBJECTIVE To explore the prevalence and risk factors associated with white coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) in Shunde District, Southern China. METHODS This study recruited subjects from the Physical Examination Center in Shunde Hospital, Southern Medical University. Office blood pressure and home blood pressure values were collected. The prevalence of WCH and MH was calculated by combining the office blood pressure and home blood pressure values. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the related risk factors for WCH and MH. RESULTS Four-hundred and sixty-one participants (61% male), with an average age of 49 years, were included. The incidence of WCH and MH was 5.1% and 15.2%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking (OR=4.71, 95%CI=1.05-21.15) and family history of coronary heart disease (OR=4.51, 95%CI=1.08-18.93) were associated with higher odds of WCH. The associated factors for higher odds of MH were smoking (OR=2.83, 95%CI=1.11-7.23), family history of hypertension (OR=2.17, 95%CI=1.11-4.26) and family history of coronary heart disease (OR=2.82, 95%CI=1.07-7.45). CONCLUSIONS WCH and MH are highly prevalent in the health check-up population in Southern China. Out-of-office blood pressure monitoring, especially home blood pressure monitoring with a telemedicine device should be recommended to identity abnormal BP phenotype. CLINICALTRIAL It has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(ChiCTR1800018515)

Introduction: Mean daytime ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) values are considered to be lower than conventional BP (CBP) values, but data on this relation among younger individuals <50 years are scarce. To address this issue, we performed a collaborative analysis in a large group of participants representing a wide age range. Methods: CBP and 24-hour ABP were measured in 9550 individuals not taking BP lowering treatment from 13 population based cohorts. We compared the individual differences between daytime ABP and CBP according to 10-year age categories. Age-specific prevalences of white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension were calculated based on guideline-recommended thresholds. Results: Among individuals aged 18-30, 30-40 and 40-50 years, mean daytime systolic and diastolic ABP were significantly higher than the corresponding CBP (6.0, 5.2 and 4.7 mmHg for systolic BP; 2.5, 2.7 and 1.7 mmHg for diastolic BP, all p<0.0001) (Figure). Systolic and diastolic BP indices were similar in participants aged 50-60 years (p=0.20 and 0.11, respectively). In individuals aged 60-70 and ≥70 years, CBP was significantly higher than daytime ABP (5.0 and 13.0 mmHg for systolic BP; 2.0 and 4.2 mmHg for diastolic BP, all p<0.0001) (Figure). Accordingly, the prevalence of white coat hypertension exponentially increased from 2.2% to 19.5% from those aged 18-30 years to those aged ≥70 years, with some variation between men and women (prevalence 8.0% versus 6.1%, p=0.0003). Masked hypertension was more prevalent among men (21.1% versus 11.4%, p<0.0001). The age-specific prevalence of masked hypertension was 18.2%, 27.3%, 27.8%, 20.1% 13.6% and 10.2% in men, and 9.0%, 9.9%, 12.2%, 11.9%, 14.7% and 12.1% in women. Conclusions: In this large collaborative analysis we found that the relation between daytime ABP and CBP strongly varies by age. These findings may have important implications for the diagnosis of hypertension and its subtypes in clinical practice.
