"Masked hypertension" is defined as high blood pressure outside the medical setting (ambulatory or self-measurement at home) and normal BP in the medical setting Masked hypertension is frequent, particularly in patients receiving antihypertensive treatment. It is often associated with other cardiovascular risk factors. The cardiovascular prognosis in terms of target organ damage and complications is poorer than that of subjects considered normotensive by all measurement methods, and similar to that of subjects considered hypertensive by all measurement methods. Its pathophysiological mechanism is unknown. No controlled trials have yet been conducted to determine the possible benefits of treatment.
“隐匿性高血压”定义为在医疗环境之外（动态血压监测或家庭自测）血压升高而在医疗环境中血压正常。隐匿性高血压很常见，尤其是在接受抗高血压治疗的患者中。它常与其他心血管危险因素相关。就靶器官损害和并发症而言，其心血管预后比所有测量方法均显示血压正常的受试者更差，与所有测量方法均显示高血压的受试者相似。其病理生理机制尚不清楚。尚未进行对照试验来确定治疗的潜在益处。
