Office and out-of-office BP measurements including ABPM on a usual working day and 7 days home BP monitoring were performed. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV) was measured in all patients. EVA was defined as c-f PWV values higher than the expected for age average values according to European population data.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In univariate analysis, EVA was significantly correlated with office systolic BP, average 24-hour systolic and diastolic BP, and average 24-hour and office heart rates. The area under the curve for predicting EVA was 0.624 (95% CI 0.551 to 0.697), 0.559 (95% CI 0.484 to 0.635) and 0.565 (95% CI 0.49 to 0.641), for daytime, home, and office systolic BP, respectively. Ambulatory BP variables, age, sex, body mass index, diabetes mellitus (yes\/no), and estimated glomerular filtration rate were used to develop a new score for EVA providing a total accuracy of 0.82, 0.84 sensitivity, and 0.78 specificity.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In
