TLDR
INH was associated with increased LV mass compared with normo tension in a population-based cohort of African Americans enrolled in the JHS and there were trends toward a greater likelihood of LV hyper trophy and proteinuria among participants with INH vs. those who were normotensive.

Masked hypertension: understanding its complexity

TL;DR: Almost one-third of treated patients with masked hypertension remain as 'masked uncontrolled hypertension', and it becomes important to use ABPM (and supplemental home BP monitoring) for the effective diagnosis and control of hypertension.

TL;DR: In this article, out-of-office blood pressure measurement is essential for the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions, and masked hypertension is important hypertension phenotypes are important hypertension phenotype.

Is Isolated Nocturnal Hypertension A Reproducible Phenotype

TL;DR: The results suggest that INH and IDH are poorly reproducible phenotypes, and that ABPM should be primarily used to identify individuals with daytime hypertension and/or nocturnal hypertension.

Recommendations for Blood Pressure Measurement in Humans and Experimental Animals Part 1: Blood Pressure Measurement in Humans: A Statement for Professionals From the Subcommittee of Professional and Public Education of the American Heart Association Council on High Blood Pressure Research

TL;DR: It is increasingly recognized that office measurements correlate poorly with blood pressure measured in other settings, and that they can be supplemented by self-measured readings taken with validated devices at home, which gives a better prediction of risk than office measurements and is useful for diagnosing white-coat hypertension.

Ambulatory blood pressure. An independent predictor of prognosis in essential hypertension.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ambulatory blood pressures stratifies cardiovascular risk in essential hypertension independent of clinic blood pressure and other traditional risk markers including echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy.

TL;DR: Results have 2 important clinical messages: ambulatory measurement of blood pressure is superior to clinic measurement in predicting cardiovascular mortality, and nighttimeBlood pressure is the most potent predictor of outcome.
