White-Coat Hypertension

心内科

Common symptoms

血压高

The pathology of disease

White-coat hypertension is elevated blood pressure measured in the clinic but normal out-of-office (home/ambulatory) readings, due to anxiety in the medical setting. It is not entirely benign and carries elevated cardiovascular risk. Treatment: confirm by ambulatory/home BP monitoring; lifestyle modification; monitor progression to sustained hypertension; treat with antihypertensives if high risk/target-organ damage.

Common Symptoms

High clinic BP but normal home/ambulatory; clinic anxiety; intermediate cardiovascular risk

Causes and Pathogenesis

Clinic anxiety raises BP out of proportion to true ambulatory level.

Treatment

Confirm by ambulatory/home BP; lifestyle; monitor; treat if high risk/target-organ damage

Preventive Measures

Ambulatory BP monitoring; lifestyle; follow-up.
