Abstract
In treated hypertensive, office BP measured by an automatic device shows significant variability. When the BP is taken with an automatic device, measures taken after 8Â minutes of rest avoid the misleading effects of white coat effect, but the masked hypertension is present in nearly one third of the subjects. The use of AMT for monitoring hypertensive patients is the best way to monitor treatment efficacy.
