Summary of nine studies that addressed the relationship between exaggerate blood pressure response to exercise and masked hypertension. Data are presented as absolute numbers, percentage, mean ± SD. BMI = body mass index; EBPR = exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise; MH = masked hypertension.
