Table 3.
Incidence of the predefined cardiovascular outcomes during the follow‐up in the overall population sample, stratified into 4 BP categories
| Parameters | NT | White‐coat HT | Masked HT | Sustained HT | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Composite outcome (MI + stroke + any hospitalization) | 32 (8.5) | 48 (13.7) | 24 (16.1) | 101 (7.6) | <.001 |
| Myocardial infarction | 13 (3.4) | 9 (2.6) | 11 (7.4) | 41 (3.1) | .037 |
| Stroke | 7 (1.9) | 7 (2.0) | 4 (2.7) | 12 (0.9) | .122 |
| Hospitalization for any cause | 22 (5.8) | 35 (10.0) | 18 (12.1) | 54 (4.1) | <.001 |
| Hospitalization for HT | 22 (5.8) | 31 (8.8) | 17 (11.4) | 5 (3.8) | <.001 |
| Hospitalization for HF | 1 (0.3) | 7 (2.0) | 5 (3.4) | 6 (0.5) | <.001 |
HF, heart failure; HT, hypertension; MI, myocardial infarction.
