Elevated sleep-time blood pressure (BP) is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than the awake or 24 h BP means. However, discrepancies in the diagnosis of hypertension between clinic and ambulatory measurements (isolated-office and masked hypertension) are frequently defined by comparing clinic with only awake BP. We evaluated the impact of sleep-time BP in the prognostic value of isolated-office and masked hypertension.
