Abstract
These findings suggest similarities between persistent and white-coat hypertensive subjects reflecting attenuated parasympathetic control of the heart. In addition, the association between white-coat hypertension and autonomic dysregulation, particularly diminished parasympathetic tone, may serve as a mechanism for increased risk for cardiovascular events in affected individuals.
