        <title>Resumo</title>
        <sec>
          <title>Fundamento:</title>
          <p>Hipertensos tratados avaliados apenas com a medida casual da press&#227;o arterial (PA) podem estar sujeitos a decis&#245;es equivocadas.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Objetivos:</title>
          <p>Avaliar o comportamento da PA pela medida casual e residencial (MRPA), o comportamento das classes de anti-hipertensivos e as preval&#234;ncias de hipertens&#227;o do avental branco (HABNC) e mascarada n&#227;o-controladas (HMNC).</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>M&#233;todos:</title>
          <p>Estudo transversal que avaliou pacientes pela plataforma TeleMRPA entre 2017 e 2019. Foram exclu&#237;dos aqueles sem medicamentos, com 3 ou mais, em uso de espironolactona e alfa-2 agonistas. As vari&#225;veis analisadas foram: idade, sexo, &#237;ndice de massa corporal (IMC), n&#250;mero de medidas v&#225;lidas da PA, m&#233;dias da PA sist&#243;lica (PAS) e diast&#243;lica (PAD) pela medida casual e MRPA, e as classes de anti-hipertensivos. Utilizados os testes <italic>t</italic> pareado e n&#227;o pareado e qui-quadrado. Adotado n&#237;vel de signific&#226;ncia de 5%.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Resultados:</title>
          <p>Selecionados 22.446 pacientes, dos quais 6.731 preencheram os crit&#233;rios, sendo 61,3% do sexo feminino, com idade m&#233;dia de 57,8 (&#177;12,6) anos e IMC m&#233;dio de 29,0 (&#177;5,1) kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Os valores m&#233;dios de PAS e PAD foram 6,6 mmHg (p&lt;0,001) e 4,4 mmHg (p&lt;0,001) maiores na medida casual que na MRPA. As taxas de controle da PA foram de 57,0% pela medida casual e 61,3% pela MRPA (p&lt;0,001), com preval&#234;ncia de HABNC e HMNC de 15,4% e 11,1%, respectivamente. O bloqueio do sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona ocorreu em 74,6% das vezes e 54,8% estavam em monoterapia.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Conclus&#245;es:</title>
          <p>O uso da MRPA deve ser considerado no acompanhamento de hipertensos tratados em virtude das elevadas preval&#234;ncias de HABNC e HMNC. Os anti-hipertensivos tiveram comportamentos distintos nas medidas domiciliares. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2021; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0)</p>

      <p>A medida casual da press&#227;o arterial (PA) em pacientes hipertensos, seja para diagn&#243;stico ou avalia&#231;&#227;o do controle, apresenta fragilidades importantes e pode levar a equ&#237;vocos de interpreta&#231;&#227;o.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1"><sup>1</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Por outro lado, o tratamento farmacol&#243;gico da hipertens&#227;o arterial (HAS) e a consequente redu&#231;&#227;o das cifras press&#243;ricas s&#227;o capazes de diminuir de forma significativa a incid&#234;ncia dos principais desfechos cardiovasculares.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref> Apesar desse conhecimento, a grande maioria dos dados epidemiol&#243;gicos relativos &#224; preval&#234;ncia de HAS em nosso pa&#237;s deriva de question&#225;rios epidemiol&#243;gicos, como a Pesquisa Nacional de Sa&#250;de (21,4%)<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5"><sup>5</sup></xref> e o VIGITEL (24,7%),<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> sendo os dados relativos ao controle, em quase sua totalidade, obtidos a partir da medida casual.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Portanto, &#233; importante que a avalia&#231;&#227;o da efic&#225;cia dos anti-hipertensivos e do controle adequado da PA em pacientes tratados seja feita por m&#233;todos com maior acur&#225;cia que a medida casual, podendo-se utilizar para essa finalidade a monitoriza&#231;&#227;o ambulatorial (MAPA) ou residencial da press&#227;o arterial (MRPA).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8"><sup>8</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10"><sup>10</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Este &#233; o primeiro estudo em um grande n&#250;mero de hipertensos tratados com diferentes classes de anti-hipertensivos e avaliados por m&#233;todo de MAPA e telemedicina com o objetivo de investigar se os valores no consult&#243;rio e no domic&#237;lio apresentam diferen&#231;as, se as diferentes classes de anti-hipertensivos t&#234;m comportamentos distintos quando avaliadas no domic&#237;lio do paciente e quais as preval&#234;ncias de hipertens&#227;o do avental branco n&#227;o controlada (HABNC) e de hipertens&#227;o mascarada n&#227;o controlada (HMNC).</p>

      <p>Este estudo foi submetido ao Comit&#234; de &#201;tica em Pesquisa Humana do Hospital das Cl&#237;nicas da Universidade Federal de Goi&#225;s sob o n&#250;mero CAEE 99691018.7.0000.5078, tendo sido aprovado.</p>
      <p>Estudo transversal, que avaliou pacientes que realizaram exames na plataforma TeleMRPA (www.telemrpa.com) de maio de 2017 a setembro de 2019. A plataforma foi desenvolvida como ferramenta de laudo a dist&#226;ncia por telemonitoramento com caracter&#237;sticas que permitem a an&#225;lise e o filtro do banco de dados de acordo com as perguntas cient&#237;ficas que se pretendem investigar. O algoritmo matem&#225;tico utilizado possibilita a an&#225;lise com prote&#231;&#227;o dos dados pessoais do paciente, assim como das cl&#237;nicas ou unidades de sa&#250;de, seja para a interpreta&#231;&#227;o do exame, seja para a constru&#231;&#227;o de projetos de pesquisa. Por n&#227;o se tratar de um software e sim de uma plataforma acess&#237;vel em qualquer terminal de computador, tablet ou smartphone, a inser&#231;&#227;o dos dados relativos &#224; medida da PA pode ser feita de forma remota e simplificada.</p>
      <p>Foram inclu&#237;dos neste estudo pacientes com idade m&#237;nima de 18 anos, em uso de f&#225;rmacos anti-hipertensivos e que apresentavam como estrat&#233;gia de tratamento monoterapia ou combina&#231;&#227;o com duas classes distintas. Foram exclu&#237;dos pacientes que n&#227;o utilizavam anti-hipertensivos, em uso de combina&#231;&#227;o de tr&#234;s ou mais anti-hipertensivos e ainda aqueles que utilizavam espironolactona e alfa-2 agonista como monoterapia (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Figura 1</xref>).</p>

      <p>Foram utilizados os seguintes dados da plataforma TeleMRPA: sexo (masculino/feminino); idade (em anos calculada a partir da data de nascimento); &#237;ndice de massa corporal (IMC); n&#250;mero de medidas v&#225;lidas da MRPA; PA sist&#243;lica (PAS) e diast&#243;lica (PAD) obtidas pela MRPA e de forma casual; e classe dos medicamentos utilizados.</p>
      <p>Para o c&#225;lculo do IMC, foram utilizados o peso e a altura aferidos e a f&#243;rmula de Quetelet.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11"><sup>11</sup></xref> Para a medida da MRPA, o aparelho foi disponibilizado para o paciente, que foi orientado sobre manuseio e t&#233;cnica adequados para a medida da PA no dia da entrega do mesmo.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref> Ainda nesse primeiro dia, foram realizadas duas medidas no ambiente da cl&#237;nica/consult&#243;rio e, nos quatro dias subsequentes, o paciente (e/ou cuidador/acompanhante) realizou as medidas em seu domic&#237;lio conforme o protocolo. Considerou-se como medida casual a m&#233;dia das duas medidas do primeiro dia e como medida domiciliar a m&#233;dia das 24 medidas do segundo ao quinto dia (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figura 2</xref>).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12"><sup>12</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13"><sup>13</sup></xref></p>

      <p>Foram utilizados aparelhos autom&#225;ticos validados das marcas Omron, Geratherm e Microlife.</p>
      <p>Os dados foram exportados da plataforma TeleMRPA para o excel. Todas as classes de medicamentos descritas na plataforma foram revisadas e codificadas por duas equipes de trabalho. Em seguida, os bancos de dados foram cruzados para identifica&#231;&#227;o de discrep&#226;ncias que, quando identificadas, foram revisadas com toda a equipe e a coordena&#231;&#227;o.</p>

        <title>An&#225;lise estat&#237;stica</title>
        <p>Para a an&#225;lise dos dados foi utilizado o <italic>software Stata,</italic> vers&#227;o 14.0. Foi empregada estat&#237;stica descritiva com utiliza&#231;&#227;o de m&#233;dias e desvio-padr&#227;o para as vari&#225;veis cont&#237;nuas com distribui&#231;&#227;o normal e de frequ&#234;ncias absoluta e relativa para as vari&#225;veis categ&#243;ricas. Foi aplicado o teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov para verifica&#231;&#227;o da distribui&#231;&#227;o de dados das vari&#225;veis. A compara&#231;&#227;o entre os valores de PA obtidos por meio da MRPA e da medida casual foi realizada com o teste <italic>t</italic> pareado. Para a compara&#231;&#227;o dos valores de PA de acordo com o medicamento, foi utilizado o teste <italic>t</italic> n&#227;o pareado. Para compara&#231;&#245;es entre os pacientes que atingiram e n&#227;o atingiram as metas segundo a medida casual e a MRPA, foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado. Para todas as an&#225;lises, foi adotado um n&#237;vel de signific&#226;ncia de 5%.</p>

      <title>Resultados</title>
      <p>Foram avaliados 6.731 pacientes, 61,3% do sexo feminino, com idade m&#233;dia de 57,8 (&#177;12,6) anos e IMC m&#233;dio de 29,0 (&#177;5,1) kg/m<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref>. Os valores da PA casual foram maiores que os do domic&#237;lio e esse comportamento se repetiu com o uso de monoterapia ou combina&#231;&#227;o de f&#225;rmacos, bem como com todas as classes de medicamentos (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Tabela 1</xref>). O n&#250;mero m&#233;dio de medidas v&#225;lidas/exame foi de 23,5 (&#177;1,6). As diferen&#231;as nos valores m&#233;dios da PAS e PAD foram de 6,6 mmHg (p&lt;0,001) e 4,4 mmHg (p&lt;0,001), respectivamente. Essas diferen&#231;as caracterizam o efeito do avental branco e se mantiveram com signific&#226;ncia estat&#237;stica em todas as estrat&#233;gias de tratamento.</p>

      <p>O presente estudo contribui com a an&#225;lise na pr&#225;tica cl&#237;nica de n&#250;mero expressivo de pacientes hipertensos tratados com medicamentos, avaliados pela medida casual da PA e pela MRPA. Os achados confirmam que menores m&#233;dias de PA s&#227;o observadas na MRPA, independentemente do uso de monoterapia ou combina&#231;&#227;o de f&#225;rmacos, bem como das classes de anti-hipertensivos prescritas. Observaram-se alta taxa de controle da PA, maior com a MRPA, e preval&#234;ncias relevantes de HABNC e HMNC, o que tem implica&#231;&#245;es progn&#243;sticas potenciais e refor&#231;a a necessidade do uso da medida da PA fora do consult&#243;rio como par&#226;metro para adequada abordagem e seguimento do paciente hipertenso.</p>
      <p>Em rela&#231;&#227;o &#224;s caracter&#237;sticas da amostra estudada, &#233; importante ressaltar que se trata de uma popula&#231;&#227;o com idade m&#233;dia pr&#243;xima a 60 anos e IMC aumentado, aspectos relevantes em virtude de serem fatores que tornam o tratamento da HAS e o seu controle mais dif&#237;ceis.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14"><sup>14</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16"><sup>16</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Outro ponto importante &#233; que, apesar de as &#250;ltimas diretrizes nacionais e internacionais recomendarem a combina&#231;&#227;o de f&#225;rmacos como uma estrat&#233;gia preferencial para a maioria dos pacientes hipertensos, ainda observamos que 54,8% de nossa amostra estava em uso de monoterapia.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17"><sup>17</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18"><sup>18</sup></xref> Na an&#225;lise das classes de medicamentos utilizadas fica n&#237;tida a prefer&#234;ncia pela estrat&#233;gia de bloquear o SRAA, que aconteceu em 74,6% dos pacientes, sendo que a frequ&#234;ncia de uso dos BRA foi 3,7 vezes maior que a dos IECA. Outras classes de anti-hipertensivos tiveram uma frequ&#234;ncia baixa de uso em monoterapia. As combina&#231;&#245;es de BRA ou IECA com diur&#233;ticos (DIUR) ou antagonistas de canal de c&#225;lcio (ACC) foram preferidas, o que est&#225; bem alinhado com as recomenda&#231;&#245;es atuais.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19"><sup>19</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20"><sup>20</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Os valores de PAS e PAD apresentaram-se sempre mais altos e com signific&#226;ncia estat&#237;stica nas medidas no consult&#243;rio comparadas &#224;s domiciliares, independentemente da classe de anti-hipertensivos e da estrat&#233;gia de monoterapia ou combina&#231;&#227;o. Em m&#233;dia, as diferen&#231;as foram de 6,6 mmHg para PAS (p&lt;0,001) e de 4,4 mmHg para a PAD (p&lt;0,001) e se repetiram com maior ou menor intensidade em todas as medica&#231;&#245;es utilizadas. Esse achado remete &#224; necessidade de considerarmos o cen&#225;rio de HABNC como um fen&#243;tipo frequente em pacientes tratados e que, quando presente, pode induzir &#224; utiliza&#231;&#227;o de medicamentos em quantidade ou doses maiores que o necess&#225;rio quando avaliamos os hipertensos tratados apenas com base nas medidas de consult&#243;rio.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8"><sup>8</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9"><sup>9</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21"><sup>21</sup></xref> Em nossa amostra, a preval&#234;ncia de HABNC foi 15,4% e a de HMNC, 11,1%, significando erro da interpreta&#231;&#227;o de controle adequado com a estrat&#233;gia terap&#234;utica de 26,5%.</p>
      <p>A HABNC torna-se ainda mais relevante se considerarmos que, sob o olhar da MRPA, temos mais pacientes na meta do que quando avaliados pela medida casual (61,3% vs 57%, p&lt;0,001), novamente refor&#231;ando a tese de que, com as medidas domiciliares, poderemos fazer ajustes mais adequados ao comportamento da PA no dia a dia do paciente. Vale considerar ainda que, diferentemente do que se imaginava, a HABNC pode ser encontrada tanto quando temos eleva&#231;&#245;es do componente sist&#243;lico quanto diast&#243;lico pela medida casual, e em todas as faixas et&#225;rias.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21"><sup>21</sup></xref> Outro fen&#243;tipo a ser considerado &#233; o da HMNC, que ainda &#233; uma das grandes d&#250;vidas no cen&#225;rio do tratamento da HAS: como lidar com pacientes com a PA controlada no consult&#243;rio e elevada nas medidas domiciliares e quais seriam as metas pela MRPA?<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22"><sup>22</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Nas compara&#231;&#245;es das classes de anti-hipertensivos, encontramos diferen&#231;as significativas no que tange &#224; redu&#231;&#227;o dos valores press&#243;ricos. Entretanto, devemos considerar como fator limitante o fato de que, como este estudo n&#227;o foi randomizado para esse tipo de compara&#231;&#227;o em rela&#231;&#227;o &#224;s classes, &#224;s doses utilizadas e &#224;s caracter&#237;sticas dos pacientes, essas diferen&#231;as devem ser analisadas com cautela. Esses achados s&#227;o coincidentes com os de outras publica&#231;&#245;es, principalmente metan&#225;lises de estudos randomizados, que j&#225; haviam descrito diferen&#231;as em termos de pot&#234;ncia dependentes das doses utilizadas e indica&#231;&#245;es, por&#233;m atrav&#233;s da an&#225;lise de medida casual da PA.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23"><sup>23</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25"><sup>25</sup></xref> No presente estudo, as diferentes classes de anti-hipertensivos parecem apresentar pot&#234;ncias distintas, quando avaliadas pela MRPA, o que refor&#231;a a necessidade de individualiza&#231;&#227;o do paciente na escolha da melhor estrat&#233;gia para o tratamento.</p>
      <p>A nosso ver, o aspecto relevante &#233; a maior preval&#234;ncia do uso dos BRA como estrat&#233;gia de bloqueio do SRAA e sua combina&#231;&#227;o com ACC e DIUR. &#201; poss&#237;vel que a prefer&#234;ncia pelo bloqueio do SRAA como estrat&#233;gia de tratamento da HAS tenha respaldo na literatura que demonstra evid&#234;ncias de redu&#231;&#227;o expressiva da PA, prote&#231;&#227;o cardiovascular e baixa incid&#234;ncia de efeitos colaterais com essa classe de f&#225;rmacos, seja em monoterapia seja em combina&#231;&#227;o.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26"><sup>26</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27"><sup>27</sup></xref></p>

      <title>Conclus&#245;es</title>
      <p>Em hipertensos tratados, a an&#225;lise do controle adequado da PA deveria ser baseada n&#227;o somente nos valores do consult&#243;rio como tamb&#233;m nas medidas domiciliares.</p>
      <p>As diferentes classes de anti-hipertensivos apresentaram comportamentos distintos em rela&#231;&#227;o &#224; redu&#231;&#227;o da PA mesmo quando avaliadas com a MRPA e esse achado deve ser mais bem investigado com estudos randomizados prospectivos.</p>
      <p>A elevada preval&#234;ncia de HABNC e HMNC sugere que, quando a decis&#227;o terap&#234;utica &#233; baseada apenas nas medidas obtidas em consult&#243;rio, podemos adotar condutas inadequadas, o que tem potencial impacto na abordagem e no seguimento dos pacientes hipertensos.</p>

          <title>Background:</title>
          <p>Hypertensive patients undergoing treatment and assessed only by casual blood pressure (BP) measurement may be subject to mistaken decisions.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Objective:</title>
          <p>To assess BP behavior by measuring its levels at the office (casual) and at home (HBPM), the behavior of different classes of antihypertensive drugs, and the prevalence of uncontrolled white-coat hypertension (UCWCH) and uncontrolled masked hypertension (UCMH).</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Methods:</title>
          <p>Cross-sectional study assessing patients who underwent BP monitoring in the TeleMRPA platform between 2017 and 2019. The exclusion criteria were: use of no antihypertensive drug; combined use of 3 or more antihypertensive drugs; and use of spironolactone and alpha-2 agonist. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), number of valid BP measurements, means of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP, respectively) obtained from HBPM and casual measurement, and the classes of antihypertensive drugs. Paired and unpaired t tests, as well as chi-square test, were used. The 5% significance level was adopted.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Results:</title>
          <p>This study selected 22 446 patients, 6731 of whom met the inclusion criteria [61.3%, female sex; mean age, 57.8 (&#177;12.6) years; mean BMI, 29.0 (&#177;5.1) kg/m<sup>2</sup>]. Mean SBP and DBP were 6.6 mm Hg (p&lt;0.001) and 4.4 mm Hg (p&lt;0.001) higher in casual measurement than in HBPM. The rates of BP control were 57.0% in casual measurement and 61.3% in HBPM (p&lt;0.001), and the prevalence of UCWCH and UCMH was 15.4% and 11.1%, respectively. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade was observed in 74.6% of the patients, and 54.8% were on single-drug therapy.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Conclusions:</title>
          <p>HBPM should be considered for the follow-up of treated hypertensive patients because of the high prevalence of UCWCH and UCMH. Antihypertensive drugs behaved differently in HBPM. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2021; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0)</p>

        <title>Introduction</title>
        <p>Casual blood pressure (BP) measurement of hypertensive patients for both diagnosis and control assessment has important flaws and can lead to misinterpretation.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1"><sup>1</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref></p>
        <p>The pharmacological treatment of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and the consequent reduction in BP levels are known to significantly decrease the incidence of major cardiovascular outcomes.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref> Nevertheless, most epidemiological data regarding the prevalence of SAH in Brazil derive from epidemiological questionnaires, such as the Brazilian Health Survey (<italic>Pesquisa Nacional de Sa&#250;de</italic> &#8211; 21.4%)<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5"><sup>5</sup></xref> and VIGITEL (24.7%),<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> and most data concerning BP control have been obtained via casual measurement.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref></p>
        <p>Therefore, the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs and proper BP control of patients undergoing treatment should be assessed by using more accurate methods than casual measurement, such as ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) or home BP monitoring (HBPM).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8"><sup>8</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10"><sup>10</sup></xref></p>
        <p>This is the first study with many hypertensive patients treated with different classes of antihypertensive drugs and assessed by use of ABPM and telemedicine, aiming at investigating: whether the BP levels measured at the doctor's office and at home differ; whether the different classes of antihypertensive drugs behave differently when BP is measured at home; and the prevalence of uncontrolled white-coat hypertension (UCWCH) and of uncontrolled masked hypertension (UCMH).</p>

        <title>Methods</title>
        <p>This study was submitted to the Committee on Ethics and Research of the Hospital das Cl&#237;nicas da Universidade Federal de Goi&#225;s (# CAEE 99691018.7.0000.5078) and was approved.</p>
        <p>This is a cross-sectional study assessing patients who underwent BP measurement in the TeleMRPA platform (www.telemrpa.com) from May 2017 to September 2019. The platform has been developed as a remote diagnosis tool for BP telemonitoring, and its characteristics allow the analysis and filtering of a database according to the scientific questions investigated. The mathematical algorithm used allows the protection of the patients' personal data, as well as of the data from the clinics or healthcare units, for the interpretation of the tests and the construction of research projects. Because it is not a software but a platform that can be accessed from any computer, tablet or smartphone, the input of BP measurement data can be performed remotely and in a simple way.</p>
        <p>This study included patients aged 18 years and over, managed with antihypertensive drugs in a single-drug therapy strategy or a combination of two different classes of antihypertensive drugs. The exclusion criteria were as follows: use of no antihypertensive drug; combined use of three or more antihypertensive drugs; and use of spironolactone and alpha-2 agonist as a single-drug therapy (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Figure 1</xref>).</p>

        <p>The following data of the TeleMRPA platform were used: sex (male/female); age (in years, calculated from the birth date); body mass index (BMI); number of valid BP measurements at home; systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP, respectively) obtained from HBPM and casual measurement; and class of antihypertensive drug used.</p>
        <p>To calculate BMI, weight and height were measured and the Quetelet's index used.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11"><sup>11</sup></xref> On the first visit to the doctor's office, the patient received a BP device for home BP measurement in addition to instructions on its proper management.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref> On that same day, two BP measurements were taken at the office and, in the following four days, the patient (and/or caregiver) took BP measurements at home according to a protocol. Casual BP measurement was defined as the mean of the two BP measurements taken at the office, while home BP measurement was defined as the mean of the 24 BP measurements taken from the second to the fifth day (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Figure 2</xref>).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12"><sup>12</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13"><sup>13</sup></xref></p>

        <p>Validated automated Omron, Geratherm and Microlife devices were used.</p>
        <p>Data were exported from the TeleMRPA platform to excel. All classes of drugs described in the platform were reviewed and encoded by two work teams. Then, the databases were crossed for identification of discrepancies, which, when present, were reviewed by the entire team and the coordination.</p>

          <title>Statistical analysis</title>
          <p>For data analysis, the software Stata, version 14.0, was used. Descriptive statistics with means and standard deviation was used for normally distributed continuous variables, and absolute and relative frequencies, for categorical variables. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the data distribution of the variables. The BP levels obtained from HBPM and casual measurement were compared by using paired <italic>t</italic> test. To compare the BP levels according to the drugs used, unpaired <italic>t</italic> test was applied, while patients reaching and not reaching BP goals in casual measurement and HBPM were compared by using chi-square test. The 5% significance level was adopted for all analyses.</p>

The BP levels taken casually were higher than those taken at home, and this behavior was seen with the use of single-drug therapy or of a combination of drugs, and for all drug classes (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t5">Table 1</xref>). The mean number of valid BP measurements was 23.5 (&#177;1.6). The differences in the mean SBP and DBP levels were 6.6 mm Hg (p&lt;0.001) and 4.4 mm Hg (p&lt;0.001), respectively. Those differences characterize the white-coat effect and maintained statistical significance in all treatment strategies.</p>

        <title>Discussion</title>
        <p>This study contributes to the analysis in clinical practice of a significant number of hypertensive patients undergoing drug treatment, assessed by use of casual BP measurement and HBPM. Our findings confirm that lower mean BP levels are observed in HBPM regardless of the use of single-drug therapy or drug combination or even of the class of the antihypertensive drug prescribed. A high rate of BP control was found, higher with HBPM, in addition to a significant prevalence of UCWCH and UCMH, with potential prognostic implications, reinforcing the need for out-of-the-office BP measurement as a parameter for proper management and follow-up of hypertensive patients.</p>
        <p>Regarding the characteristics of the sample studied, it is worth emphasizing the population's mean age close to 60 years and increased BMI, which are relevant aspects that make SAH treatment as well as SAH control more difficult.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14"><sup>14</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16"><sup>16</sup></xref></p>
        <p>In addition, although the latest national and international guidelines recommend the combination of drugs as the preferred strategy for most hypertensive patients, 54.8% of our sample were on single-drug therapy.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17"><sup>17</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18"><sup>18</sup></xref> The analysis of the classes of antihypertensive drugs used evidenced the preference for the RAAS blockade strategy, which was observed in 74.6% of the patients, and a 3.7-time greater frequency of ARB use as compared to ACEI use. Other classes of antihypertensive drugs had a low frequency of use in single-drug therapy. The combination of ARB or ACEI with diuretics (DIUR) or calcium channel blockers (CCB) was preferred, which is in accordance with the current recommendations.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19"><sup>19</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20"><sup>20</sup></xref></p>
        <p>The SBP and DBP levels were always higher and statistically significant in the measurements taken in the office than at home, regardless of the antihypertensive drug class and of the single-drug or combination strategy. On average, the differences were 6.6 mm Hg for SBP (p&lt;0.001) and 4.4 mm Hg for DBP (p&lt;0.001), and these differences remained at a higher or lower intensity for all drugs used. This evidences the need to consider the UCWCH as a frequent phenotype among patients treated, which can induce the use of higher doses of drugs than required when assessing hypertensive patients treated based only on BP measurements taken at the office.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8"><sup>8</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9"><sup>9</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21"><sup>21</sup></xref> In our sample, the prevalence of UCWCH was 15.4% and that of UCMH, 11.1%, meaning a 26.5% misinterpretation of proper BP control with the therapeutic strategy.</p>
        <p>The UCWCH is even more relevant if we consider that, from the HBPM perspective, more patients reached the BP goal as compared to those assessed via casual measurement (61.3% vs 57%, p&lt;0.001), reinforcing the thesis that, with home measurements, more proper adjustments to BP levels can be obtained daily. It is worth considering that, differently from what we imagined, UCWCH can be found in elevations of the SBP or DBP component via casual measurement and in all age ranges.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21"><sup>21</sup></xref> Another phenotype to be considered is UCMH, still one of the major doubts in SAH treatment: how to manage patients with controlled BP at the office but with elevated BP levels taken at home, and which would be the BP goals for HBPM?<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22"><sup>22</sup></xref></p>
        <p>When comparing the classes of antihypertensive drugs, significant differences were found regarding the reduction in BP levels. However, one limiting factor should be considered: because this study was not randomized for the comparison of antihypertensive drug classes, the doses used and the patients' characteristics, those differences should be carefully analyzed. Those findings are in accordance with those of other publications, mainly meta-analyses of randomized studies, which had already described differences in drug potency depending on the doses used and indications but based on casual BP measurement.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23"><sup>23</sup></xref><sup>&#8211;</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25"><sup>25</sup></xref> In this study, the different classes of antihypertensive drugs seem to have different potencies when assessed via HBPM, reinforcing the need for patient's individualization when choosing the best treatment strategy.</p>
        <p>From our viewpoint, a relevant aspect in this study is the higher prevalence of ARB use as the strategy for RAAS blockade and its combination with CCB and DIUR. The preference for RAAS blockade to treat SAH might have been based on the literature evidence of significant BP reduction, cardiovascular protection, and low incidence of side effects with the use of that drug class, in both single-drug and combination therapy.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26"><sup>26</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27"><sup>27</sup></xref></p>

        <title>Conclusions</title>
        <p>For hypertensive patients undergoing treatment, the proper BP control assessment should be based not only on measurements taken at the office but at home as well.</p>
        <p>The different classes of antihypertensive drugs behave differently regarding BP reduction even for HBPM, and this finding should be further investigated in prospective randomized trials.</p>
        <p>The high prevalence of UCWCH and UCMH found suggests that, when the therapeutic decision is based only on measurements taken at the office, the BP management might be inappropriate, with a potential impact on the management and follow-up of hypertensive patients.</p>
