Association of Isolated Systolic, Isolated Diastolic, and Systolic-Diastolic Masked Hypertension With Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness

open access: yes, 2015
Masked hypertension (MH) is associated with advanced target organ damage. However, patients with MH constitute a group of individuals with heterogeneous characteristics concerning their ambulatory blood pressure (BP) status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of isolated systolic MH, isolated diastolic MH, and systolic/diastolic MH ...
