Unattended Automated Office Blood Pressure Measurement and Cardiac Target Organ Damage, A Pilot Study.

Introduction: The ESC-2018 guidelines suggest the use of Unattended automated office blood pressure (UAOBP) to avoid or at least reduce the white coat effect, even if do not support its use as preferred method.

Aim: To assess the pressure difference between UAOBP and Attended office blood pressure (AOBP) and to evaluate their correlations with target organ damage in hypertensive patients.

Methods: UAOBP and AOBP were taken in a cohort of 48 outpatients.
