Özet
Masked hypertension (MHT) was first defined by Pickering in 1992, and its importance is progressively increasing (1). MHT is a condition wherein blood pressure measured according to hypertension guidelines in office is normal, whereas the mean 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurement or blood pressure measurement out of office is high (2). Studies relating to the etiology of MHT is limited, and possible etiological factors include work stress, smoking, alcohol use, male sex, and excessive physical activity (3, 4). The association between MHT and thyroid hormone, which has major effects on the cardiovascular system, is not known. This study aims to investigate the association between thyroid hormone and blood pressure in newly diagnosed MHT patients
