Masked hypertension represents nowadays the new entity in clinical practice of hypertension. Represents higher ambulatory blood pressure, than conventionally measured office blood pressure. In the near future follow-up of its reproducibility and its clinical significance are going to be estimated.

Keywords: Key words: hypertension, masked hypertension, blood pressure monitoring.
