Overview

Before the diagnosis of primary (essential) hypertension, secondary causes of hypertension should be ruled out. Additionally, other conditions that may elevate BP include: White coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and pseudo-hypertension.

Differerentiating Hypertension from other Diseases

Before the diagnosis of primary (essential) hypertension is made, ruling out secondary causes of hypertension is important. Additionally, other conditions that might reveal high blood pressure levels in the clinic or outside must be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypertension.

White Coat Hypertension

White coat hypertension, more commonly known as white coat syndrome, is a phenomenon in which patients exhibit elevated blood pressure in a clinical setting but not in other settings.[1] The prevalence of white coat hypertension is approximately 13%.[2] Risk factors based on observational studies include age, female sex, and non-smoking. Nonetheless, as office BP levels are increased, the probability of white coat hypertension is reduced.[1] Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and patient self-measurement using a home blood pressure monitoring device are being increasingly used to differentiate those with white coat hypertension or experiencing the white coat effect from those with true hypertension. Ambulatory monitoring has been found to be a more practical and reliable method in detecting patients with white coat hypertension and for the prediction of target organ damage. Even as such, the diagnosis and treatment of white coat hypertension remains controversial.[3] According to ESC/ESH recommendations in 2013, white coat hypertension must be confirmed within 3-6 months of diagnosis and close follow-up, evaluation, and periodical out-of-office BP measurements are also required.[1] Finally, target organ damage and prognosis of patients with white coat hypertension is still unknown. Although it was considered an intermediate between normal blood pressure and hypertension(105), larger meta-analyses failed to show any significant difference between patients with white coat hypertension and those with normal blood pressure levels.[2][4][5]

Masked Hypertension

The term "masked hypertension" can be used to describe a contrasting phenomenon from that of white coat hypertension, where blood pressure is elevated during daily living, but not in an office setting.[6] Similarly, the prevalence of masked hypertension is also thought to be approximately 13% and tends to increase when office BP values are high-normal.[7][8] Risk factors for masked hypertension include young age, male gender, smoking, alcohol, physical exercise, anxiety and stress, obesity, diabetes, chronic renal insufficiency, and family history of hypertension. In contrast to white coat hypertension, patients with masked hypertension are at a two-fold increased risk of cardiovascular events and target organ damage, especially when BP levels are elevated at night.[9][10]

Pseudohypertension

Pseudohypertension is defined as marked arterial stiffness associated with calcification of brachial arteries that require much higher cuff-inflating pressures to occlude. Measurements of blood pressure values in the clinic might thus be falsely high.[1] Pseudohypertension is more common among elderly patients.[1]
