At the end of this presentation, participants should be better able to:

• Measure and interoperate blood pressure values in the office setting, at home, and with the 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring system
• Identify the difference between white coat effect and white coat hypertension and clinical significance of both
• Identify the clinical presentations of masked hypertension and their significance in terms of cardiovascular disease risk
• Use diagnostic techniques that will help you decide on how low to go with BP values for specific clinical cardiovascular disease states
