| Abstract |
This review aims to clarify the cardiovascular risk of white coat hypertension (WCH). Cardiovascular risk of WCH has been evaluated in multiple meta-analyses and population-based studies. International Database on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Relation to Cardiovascular Outcomes study evaluated the cardiovascular risk in 653 patients with WCH and 5137 normotensive patients. The patients were age-matched and were followed for 10.6 years. The results revealed no increased cardiovascular risk except in older high-risk WCH patients. A recent meta-analysis evaluated the cardiovascular risk in WCH subjects without any antihypertensive treatment (23 cohorts, 20 445 individuals), WCH subjects with antihypertensive treatment (11 cohorts, 8656 individuals), and mixed population including both treated and untreated subjects (12 cohorts, 21 336 individuals). This study revealed increased cardiovascular risk in untreated and mixed population WCH subjects but not in treated WCH subjects. WCH might have prognostic impact on cardiovascular outcomes; however, this is not true in all WCH subjects. Further studies should identify the subgroups of WCH that are at increased risk and evaluate the effect of therapeutic measures on cardiovascular outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 May 2018.
All research outputs
#18,606,163
of 23,047,237 outputs
Outputs from Current Cardiology Reports
#747
of 1,006 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#258,503
of 332,638 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Cardiology Reports
#15
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,047,237 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,006 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,638 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
