Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a 24-hour blood pressure tracking system that measures your blood pressure throughout the day and night during normal activities. This comprehensive monitoring provides accurate data for hypertension diagnosis and treatment management.
24-hour blood pressure tracking
Ambulatory BP monitoring uses a small, portable device that automatically measures your blood pressure at regular intervals over 24 hours. The device is worn on your arm and provides comprehensive data about your blood pressure patterns throughout the day and night. This monitoring helps:
Provides multiple readings to confirm high blood pressure and rule out "white coat hypertension"
Evaluate how well blood pressure medications are working throughout the day
Identify abnormal patterns like nocturnal hypertension or morning blood pressure surges
