Situations (10[1])where this condition emerges only in medical settings is jokingly (10[1])referred to as white coat syndrome.

(10[2])ACE (10[1])inhibitors are (10[1])prescribed to treat this condition (10[1])by inhibiting (10[1])the production (10[1])of angiotensin II. (10[1])This condition can be diagnosed with a reading of 140 over (10[2])90 (10[3])or higher on a sphygmomanometer, which takes measurements for the systole and diastole.
