The white-coat hypertension response: prevalence and predictors.

Abstract:

:This study was designed to determine the clinical characteristics of hypertensive patients whose blood pressures are substantially higher in the medical office than in their natural environments. Thirty-nine percent of patients enrolled in a nonpharmacologic hypertension treatment program had systolic or diastolic office blood pressures (OBPs) that were at least 10 mm Hg higher than their ambulatory blood pressures (ABPs). Although these white-coat responders (WCRs) had higher systolic OBPs than did non-white-coat responders (NRs), both their systolic (p less than 0.02) and their diastolic (p less than 0.0001) ABPs were significantly lower than those of NRs. Furthermore, patients with white-coat hypertension did not have greater blood pressure reactivity in their natural environments, suggesting that their blood pressure elevations may be specific to the medical setting. White-coat hypertensives were older (p less than 0.005), had less angry dispositions (p less than 0.01), and reported less overt anger expression (p less than 0.005). They were also taking more antihypertensive medications than were the other patients in the study (p less than 0.001).
