Pulse pressure is a derivative of arterial stiffness. We have previously demonstrated ambulatory pulse pressure to be relatively independent from the blood pressure (BP) lowering during sleep, and thus of a neurogenic effect. On the other hand, white coat BP effects are thought to involve neurogenic activation. The aim of this work was to analyze white coat induced variability in pulse pressure.
