Maskovaná hypertenzia – diagnostika, liečba a prognóza.
- Authors
Ľ., Gašpar; S., Filipová
- Abstract
The diagnosis of masked hypertension has been made easier with the widespread availability of home blood pressure monitoring devices, as well as the routine use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The negative impact of masked hypertension on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is evidenced by numerous well-designed clinic-based and population-based studies. The relationship of masked hypertension and target organ damage is also well documented. These two factors, combined with the robust evidence of reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality achieved with blood pressure treatment, makes the argument for actively identifying patients with masked hypertension and prescribing treatment similar to that for patients with sustained hypertension.
