N2 - Background: Isolated office (IO) hypertension is a benign condition according to some researchers, whereas others believe it is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities and increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to compare morphofunctional characteristics of the left ventricle (LV) in IO hypertensive subjects, normotensive subjects (hereafter, hypertensives and normotensives), and never-treated sustained hypertensives. The 3 groups were matched not only by age, sex, and body mass index but also by clinic blood pressure (BP) (IO hypertensives and sustained hypertensives) and daytime BP (IO hypertensives and normotensives). Methods: We enrolled 42 IO hypertensives (clinic BP >140 and/or 90 mm Hg and daytime BP ≤130/80 mm Hg), 42 sustained hypertensives (clinic BP >140 and/or 90 mm Hg and daytime BP ≥140 and/or 90 mm Hg) and 42 normotensives (clinic BP
