Popis: | Background Masked hypertension (MH) is associated with cardiovascular complications and poor prognosis. Characteristics of untreated patients with reproducible MH are studied insufficiently. Purpose The aim of our study was to assess characteristics of ambulatory patients with reproducible MH in comparison to patients with non-reproducible MH in two visits. Methods The patients from the ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) database (>2000 patients) were selected according to the following criteria: absence of any antihypertensive treatment (AHT), availability of clinical BP (CBP) and ABPM records at two visits with the 6 months interval, CBP Results We selected 295 patients (men 43%, mean age 49.0±7.6 years, CBP 128.4±9.4/80.5±7.2 mm Hg, body mass index 27.6±4.3 kg/m2, 24h pulse wave velocity in aorta [PWV] 10.7±1.7 m/s). MH only at one visit was found in 168 patients (56.9%). Respectively, MH at both visits was in 127 patients (43.1%). The patients with reproducible MH were characterized by the presence of: mother's (p=0.011) or father's hypertension (p=0.025), mother's ischemic heart disease (p=0.015), mother's myocardial infarction (p=0.020), father's stroke (p=0.030), higher arterial stiffness (PWV 11.0±1.7 m/s vs. 10.5±1.8 m/s, p=0.022), and systolic BP in aorta (120.0±7.5 mmHg vs. 117.8±9.4 mm Hg). Conclusions The patients with reproducible MH (without AHT) are characterized most of all by the family history of hypertension and its complications. The correlation of stable MH with arterial stiffness confirms the importance of PWV and central aortic pressure measurement in patients with CBP |
