Differential Expression of Hypertension-Associated MicroRNAs in the Plasma of Patients With White Coat Hypertension

Abstract

White coat hypertension (WCH) is a high cardiovascular risk condition, and a fundamental understanding of the cause and pathophysiology of the disorder is still lacking. Recent studies demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in hypertension; however, the roles of miRNAs in WCH are not known.
