Additionally, we evaluated the diagnostic role and prevalence of poor sleep quality among patients with newly diagnosed masked hypertension (MHT). Methods: A total of 112 individuals, 72 patients with new diagnosed MHT and 40 normotensive healthy volunteers were included in this study. All patients underwent evaluation comprising 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG), transthoracic echocardiography, 24-hour Holter ECG, and basic laboratory tests.Additionally,all participants completed questionnaires, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The total PSQI score was significantly higher in the MHT group than in the normotensive healthy volunteers (4.13±2.43 vs. 2.33±1.67, p<0.001). A PSQI score >5 was found in 45.8% (n=33) of patients in the MHT group and 15% (n=6) of patients in the normotensive group (p<0.001). Non-dipper pattern was found %17.5 in healthy volunteer group, however %59.94 (n=41) in MHT group (p<0.001). When we compared the dipping pattern of the MHT groups, there was a significant difference in PSQI score between the dipper and non-dipper groups (4.87±3.21 vs. 3.58±2.33, p<0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrates impaired sleep quality in subjects with MHT, particularly those with a non-dipper pattern. Additionally, this study indicates impaired sleep quality maybe helped diagnose of MHT, particularly in the nondipper group.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSleep QualityMasked HypertensionSleep DisturbancesConference Object3610171017WOS:000361205106626Q1
