“…Far from being clinically innocent conditions, WCHT and MHT have been related to asymptomatic cardiac and vascular damage as well as an overall raised long‐term risk of cardiovascular events, after adjustment for demographic and metabolic risk factors . Interestingly, patients with WCHT and MHT have higher BPV than normotensive people, and this may, at least partially, explain the relationship linking these hypertension phenotypes to adverse cardiovascular outcome. Indeed, there is accruing evidence that BPV does not merely represent a random effect phenomenon or a background noise that dilutes the prognostic value of BP assessment, but it is reproducible within individuals over time .…”
