Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a method used to measure blood pressure over a 24-hour period while a patient goes about their normal daily activities. This is done using a small, portable device that automatically takes blood pressure readings at regular intervals throughout the day and night. ABPM provides a more accurate picture of a person's blood pressure compared to single readings taken in a doctor's office. It is especially useful in diagnosing conditions like white coat hypertension (high blood pressure in a clinical setting) or masked hypertension (normal readings in the clinic but high readings outside). ABPM helps healthcare providers assess how blood pressure behaves during sleep, activity, and periods of stress.
Ambulatory BP monitoring provides an accurate and comprehensive assessment of blood pressure patterns, helping doctors diagnose and manage hypertension more effectively.
