Abstract excerpt
Hypertension phenotypes reflect the agreement or disagreement between office and out-of-office blood pressure (BP) measurements and are challenging to distinguish during a single office visit. Increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity is implicated in their pathophysiology. Aortic valve peak velocity, an echocardiographic parameter associated with SNS hyperactivity and high cardiac output states, may...
