A (office-ambulatory BP ≥ 20/10 mm Hg) was present 106 152 treated hypertensive who had mean (mm 174 ± 2/94 1 compared awake 137 2/81 (P < 0.001). severe (office - 40/20 observed 49 (183 3/96 2) being 0.001) than (134 2/77 1). 70 87 women but only 36 65 men Similarly, seen 41 8 Female SBP significantly correlated presence or effect. Thus, female hypertension are more likely have component their high These differences should be considered future studies involving based on
