Abstract

The resistant hypertension has been differentiated in true resistant hypertension and white-coat resistant hypertension by using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. White-coat resistant hypertension was defined as high clinic blood pressure, despite triple treatment for at least 3 months, but day-time blood pressure values < 135/85 mmHg. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of different clinical characteristics between two types of resistant hypertension. The study group consisted of 49 patients with essential hypertension, resistant to an adequate and appropriate triple-drug therapy, that included a diuretic, with all 3 drugs prescribed in near maximal doses and that had persistently elevated clinic blood pressure (> 140/90 mm Hg), for at least 3 months. They represented the 2% of 2500 hypertensive outpatients that referred at our Hypertension Unit. Patients with white-coat resistant hypertension (n=19) were older (p<0.05) than those with true resistant hypertension (n=30). The sodium intake (p<0.05) and alcohol intake (p<0.05) were significantly higher in patients with true resistant hypertension than in those with white-coat resistant hypertension. The renin plasma activity and plasma aldosterone were higher ...Continue Reading
