White coat hypertension affects 20% of patients with mild to moderate hypertension. While its causes are unclear, prognosis is fair, often not requiring medical treatment, and accurate diagnosis can save healthcare costs.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Hypertension Research

Context:

  • White coat hypertension (WCH) affects approximately 20% of individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate hypertension.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and resource allocation in hypertension care.

Purpose:

  • To review the existing literature on white coat hypertension.
  • To assess the current understanding of WCH pathophysiology, prognosis, and treatment implications.

Summary:

  • The pathophysiology of WCH remains incompletely understood.
  • The prognosis for untreated WCH appears favorable, with minimal need for medical intervention.
  • Accurate diagnosis, utilizing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, is emphasized.

Impact:
