Abstract

It has been repeatedly noted that cardiovascular events often occur in individuals who have never been diagnosed with hypertension. These events occur in part because it is difficult to identify masked hypertension in untreated individuals. However, the elevation of subclinical blood pressure (BP) in individuals with masked hypertension can exacerbate damage to the hypertensive target organ and result in an overt cardiovascular event.1, 2
