Habits
Masked Hypertension Screening
Masked hypertension screening finds high pressure outside the clinic when office visits look normal—home trends and ABPM prevent missed treatment windows.
Masked hypertension screening catches normal clinic readings with high out-of-office pressure—home cuffs, ABPM, or validated wearables under clinician guidance. Risk mirrors sustained hypertension for heart and kidney outcomes if ignored.
Screen when family history, sleep apnea, or organ signals disagree with “normal” office visits.
Common questions
-
Who should screen for masked hypertension?
Adults with strong family history, diabetes, kidney signs, sleep apnea, or repeated high home readings despite normal office values—use clinician-directed protocols, not one random cuff.
