Aortic arch calcification: a novel parameter for prediction of masked hypertension.
Masked hypertension is directly related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality but remains underdiagnosed in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to search the role of aortic arch calcification (AAC) in the diagnosis of masked hypertension. ⋯ AAC can be used as a reliable diagnostic tool to exclude and predict masked hypertension during office examination.
