THE PREVALENCE OF WHITE-COAT EFFECT AND REVERSE WHITE-COAT EFFECT IN TREATED HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS

Journal of Hypertension, 2022
Objective: In hypertensive population are patients whose office blood pressure measurements differ from those in 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements. They are patients with the white-coat effect (office blood pressure is higher than office measurements) and with the reverse white-coat effect (ambulatory measurements ...

Assessment of the white-coat effect

Journal of Hypertension, 2006
A limitation of blood pressure measurements made in the physician's office is the transient elevation in pressure seen in many patients that does not appear to be linked to target organ damage or prognosis. This has been labeled the 'white-coat effect' (WCE), computed as the difference between blood pressure measurements taken by the physician and the ...

White coat hypertension and white coat effect similarities and differences*

American Journal of Hypertension, 1995
The rise in blood pressure (BP) associated with clinical visit (white coat effect) may be one basic mechanism of white coat hypertension (persistently raised clinic BP together with a normal BP outside the clinic), but the relations between white coat hypertension, white coat effect, and target organ damage have not yet been assessed on large ...

White coat effect and white coat hypertension in community pharmacy practice

Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2005
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a white coat effect (WCE) can be observed and quantified in community pharmacy practice.In five community pharmacies of Basel, Switzerland, clients asking for blood pressure (BP) measurement were recruited to participate in a free of charge study.

White coat effect

Journal of Hypertension, 2003
The occurrence of a transient increase in blood pressure during sphygmomanometric measurements in the clinic environment was first described in 1897 by Scipione Riva-Rocci: ‘. . . the simple application of the instrument (the sphygmomanometer) can cause a temporary rise in blood pressure.

White Coat Effect and Its Clinical Implications in the Elderly

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and correlated factors of white coat effect (WCE) in the elderly. Geriatric patients who were known as normotensive and office BP exceeding 140/90 mmHg underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).

Diagnostic Approach to White Coat Effect and White Coat Hypertension

2014
An accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP) levels has important implications for clinical decision making, as it is the basis for a reliable diagnosis of hypertension and for assessment of BP control in treated subjects. The BP rise associated with the alerting reaction during the medical visit, the so-called white coat effect (WCE), represents a ...

Explaining gender differences in the white coat effect

Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2011
To discern whether gender was a unique predictor of the white coat effect (WCE) in a population of normotensives and patients diagnosed with hypertension.Participants (n=252) underwent a doctor's office visit to have their blood pressure measured. Multiple blood pressure readings were taken by both a research assistant and by the attending physician ...

WHITE-COAT HYPERTENSION: SIZE OF THE WHITE-COAT EFFECT IS STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH CENTRAL ARTERIAL STIFFNESS

Journal of Hypertension, 2022
Objective: To explore the relationship between the systolic/diastolic white-coat effect (sWCE and dWCE), defined by the difference between clinic BP and mean daytime ambulatory BP, and central arterial stiffness. Design and method: The Brighton and Verona Seniors Study (BRAVES ...

Performance of the automated BpTRU™ measurement device in the assessment of white-coat hypertension and white-coat effect

Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2006
BpTRU (VSM MedTech Ltd, Vancouver, Canada) is an automated oscillometric device that provides serial blood pressure measurements in an office setting in the absence of a healthcare professional. We sought to determine whether the white-coat effect is reduced by a blood pressure measurement protocol using BpTRU compared with casual office measurements ...
