Relationship between BP category and left ventricular mass and pulse wave velocity
| BP Category | Left Ventricular Mass Index (g/m2.7) | Pulse Wave Velocity (m/s) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted (95% CI) | Adjusteda (95% CI) | Unadjusted (95% CI) | Adjusteda (95% CI) | |
| Controlled clinic and ambulatory BP | Reference | Reference | Reference | Reference |
| White-coat hypertension | 4.24 (0.6 to 7.9)b | −0.21 (−3.5 to 3.1) | 1.36 (0.6 to 2.2)b | 0.80 (0.02 to 1.6)b |
| Masked hypertension | 4.34 (2.7 to 6.0)b | 2.52 (0.9 to 4.1)b | 1.09 (0.7 to 1.5)b | 0.92 (0.5 to 1.3)b |
| Sustained hypertension | 8.37 (6.5 to 10.2)b | 2.99 (1.1 to 4.9)b | 1.77 (1.3 to 2.2)b | 1.03 (0.6 to 1.5)b |
