Untreated White Coat Hypertension Linked to Increased CV Risk
白袍高血壓不是像一般想像的，是良性而不用治療。
根據Annals of Internal Medicine一篇meta analysis，收入64,000案例，追蹤3到19年，發現：
“沒有治療的白袍高血壓相較於正常血壓者有增加33%的死亡率。但是，若是有治療的白袍高血壓患者，則沒有死亡率增加的情況。〝
白袍高血壓沒有治療者：
- increased risk for cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36 [95% CI, 1.03 to 2.00])
- all-cause mortality (HR, 1.33 [CI, 1.07 to 1.67]),
- cardiovascular mortality (HR, 2.09 [CI, 1.23 to 4.48])
白袍高血壓有治療者(WCE)：
- No significant association was found between treated WCE and cardiovascular events (HR, 1.12 [CI, 0.91 to 1.39]), all-cause mortality (HR, 1.11 [CI, 0.89 to 1.46]), or cardiovascular mortality (HR, 1.04 [CI, 0.65 to 1.66]).
