In our first cross-sectional study, we evaluated affective temperaments in different
hypertension phenotypes. We found that both the white-coat and resistant hypertensive
patients have similarly elevated cyclothymic points. We identified the thresholds of
affective temperament scores that are independently associated with white-coat or
resistant hypertension. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity measurement verified
hypertension-mediated organ damage in resistant hypertension.
In our second study, we also found that the level of depression and anxiety is altered in
different hypertension phenotypes. We found similarly higher results on the depression
and anxiety points in white-coat and resistant hypertensive patient groups compared
with controls. In addition, almost similar threshold limits were found regarding the
anxiety scale in the association of white-coat and resistant hypertension.
