White Coat and Masked Hypertension

Pediatric Hypertension

  • 12 Accesses

Abstract

Utilization of out-of-office blood pressure techniques is endorsed in international pediatric blood pressure guidelines to allow identification of white coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) in children and adolescents. This chapter will provide an in-depth discussion of the different clinical definitions of these diagnoses and the evolution of these definitions over time. The chapter will also cover the reported prevalence rates of WCH and MH, including how they may differ depending on the clinical setting as well as the patient population. The chapter will also review the clinical implications of both WCH and MH for both healthy children and those with various chronic medical conditions. Lastly, the chapter will conclude by considering future directions for clinical research into these entities in diverse pediatric populations.
