BP control of treated hypertensive patients based on office BP control values and daytime and nighttime ambulatory BP control values, by gender. Office BP control: office BP<140/90 mm Hg, regardless of 24-hour ambulatory control values. Ambulatory BP control: daytime ambulatory BP<135/85 mm Hg or nighttime ambulatory BP<120/70 mm Hg, regardless of office values. Isolated office hypertension: office BP≥140/90 mm Hg and daytime ambulatory BP<135/85 mm Hg or nighttime ambulatory BP<120/70 mm Hg. Masked hypertension: office BP<140/90 mm Hg and daytime ambulatory BP≥135/85 mm Hg or nighttime ambulatory BP≥120/70 mm Hg. All differences between genders were statistically significant (P<.05), except for office BP control. Gender differences in office and ambulatory control of hypertension. BP=blood pressure.
