White coat hypertension is a form of resistant hypertension in which the blood pressure is elevated when checked in the medical office but may be normal with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
White coat hypertension may be associated with:[1]
- "parallels the reactivity to mental stress and standing in hypertensive subjects"
- "likely results from a sympathetic nervous activation via a vasoconstrictor response rather than tachycardia"
- "decreased arterial distensibility"
White coat hypertension may be associate with anxiety, at least in women.[2]
Although most patients with white coat hypertension are males, a greater proportion of women with hypertension have white coat hypertension than males with hypertension.[3]
Prognosis
White coat hypertension may evolve into sustained hypertension.[4][5]
Cardiovascular risks were not increased in one study with 10 years of follow-up.[6]
