Different phenotypes of hypertension and associated cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is a leading cause of premature mortality and morbidity. Recent guidelines advocate for out-of-office blood pressure monitoring, including ambulatory and home BP monitoring, to better identify hypertension phenotypes like masked hypertension, white coat hypertension, and sustained hypertension. However, clinical inertia persists due to a lack of robust evidence on the effectiveness of screening these phenotypes and their association with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the relationship between various hypertension phenotypes and future cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality to support the broader implementation of out-of-office BP monitoring.
