White coat hypertension is a form of resistant hypertension in which the blood pressure is elevated when checked in the medical office but may be normal with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Although most patients with white coat hypertension are males, a greater proportion of women with hypertension have white coat hypertension than males with hypertension.[1] White coat hypertension may be associate with anxiety, at least in women.[2]
