24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
Comprehensive 24-Hour Blood Pressure Tracking
If needed, we provide a full 24-hour BP monitor to track your blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep—giving a more accurate and complete assessment than a single reading.
A 24-hour blood pressure monitor provides a comprehensive picture of your blood pressure throughout the day and night, helping identify patterns that may not be detected in a single clinic measurement.
Visit our clinic where we will fit you with a small, portable device that automatically measures your blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period while you go about your normal daily activities. Return to the clinic after 24 hours to have the device removed and results analyzed.
What Is It?
A 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor is a portable device that you wear throughout your day and night, automatically recording your blood pressure at regular intervals. Unlike a single reading taken in a clinic, this test captures how your blood pressure behaves in your natural environment—at work, at rest, during activities, and while you sleep. This comprehensive picture reveals patterns and fluctuations that a one-time measurement simply cannot detect.
Why It's Important
This test is invaluable because blood pressure can vary significantly throughout the day and in different situations. Some people experience "white coat hypertension" where their blood pressure spikes in medical settings but is normal at home, while others have "masked hypertension" where clinic readings appear normal but blood pressure is elevated at other times. A 24-hour monitor reveals the true picture, helping you and your doctor understand whether you genuinely have hypertension, how severe it is, and whether your current treatment is working effectively throughout the day and night.
