white coat hypertension

A rise in blood pressure induced by the act of measuring it. People who react in this way show a higher pressure when it is measured by a doctor or nurse than they show on 24-hour ambulatory monitoring measurements that are recorded on a cassette. Assuming the latter method shows acceptable levels, white coat hypertension will usually not require treatment, but close follow-up is required as affected people may develop later complications such as kidney impairment or enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart.
