Christina Antza led a research team in conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis to probe the correlation between masked hypertension (MH) and white-coat hypertension (WCH) with arterial stiffness. Analyzing data from 2,352 subjects, they observed significantly heightened arterial stiffness, as indicated by pulse wave velocity, in both MH and WCH patients compared to normotensive groups. This discovery underscores the critical importance of monitoring arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients to effectively manage their condition.
