Table 3.
Univariate and multivariate analyses for the risk of predefined cardiovascular outcomes in patients with masked hypertension stratified according to their dipping profile. Composite cardiovascular outcome was a composite of new‐onset hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization due to hypertension or heart failure. In multivariate analysis, the following covariates were considered: gender, age, body mass index, smoking status, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes
