MASKED HYPERTENSION-RISK FACTORS AND CONSEQUENCES

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心机构，不一定为研究者机构。本研究的目的是调查导致人们在日常生活中的血压与他们在医生办公室的血压不同的因素。此外，该研究还将确定这种差异是否会对健康产生影响。研究表明，在医生办公室内血压正常，而在医生办公室外血压高，这种现象被称为隐性高血压，相对常见，可能与器官损伤和其他健康问题有关。如果是这样的话，可能有一些人掩盖了高血压，并将从血压治疗中受益。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that cause people's blood pressure during everyday life to differ from their blood pressure in the doctor's office. In addition, the study will determine if this difference has health consequences. Research suggests that having normal pressure at the doctor's office and high blood pressure outside the doctor's office , a phenomenon known as masked hypertension, is relatively common and may be associated with increased organ damage and other health problems. If so, there may be a number of people who have masked hypertension and would benefit from blood pressure treatment.
