High blood pressure measured in the diagnostic room

"White coat hypertension" is also called "outpatient hypertension". When some people go to the hospital for treatment, the blood pressure rises when the blood pressure is measured in the doctor's office, but the blood pressure is normal when they return to their own home to measure the blood pressure or 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (the patient carries the blood pressure measurement device without the medical staff present) .
