White-coat hypertension, defined as high blood pressure (BP) on clinical assessment but normal BP elsewhere or on ambulatory measurement, is a common but poorly understood phenomenon. The current study asks whether individuals with white-coat hypertension have abnormal autonomic-cardiac regulation, similar to that observed in sustained or persistent hypertension.
