At The Heartbeat Clinic, we provide 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring services to help keep track of your blood pressure levels during the day and night. Our latest technologies and highly qualified professionals ensure that you receive accurate readings and have access to extensive information about the state of your cardiovascular system.
24-hour Blood Pressure Monitoring, also known as Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), involves using a portable blood pressure monitor that records your blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period. The device includes a cuff placed on your upper arm connected to a small monitor worn on a belt around your waist or carried in a pouch. This method provides your healthcare provider with a comprehensive overview of your blood pressure variations throughout the day and night, rather than just a one-time reading at the clinic.
24-hour Blood Pressure Monitoring is performed to:
Diagnose Hypertension: Identify high blood pressure (hypertension) that might not be detected during regular office visits, including white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension.
Assess Blood Pressure Variability: Assess how your blood pressure fluctuates day and night, giving you a better understanding of your cardiovascular well-being.
Monitor Treatment Effectiveness: Evaluate the effectiveness of blood pressure medications and determine if there is a need for adjustments in dosages or medication types.
Identify Nocturnal Hypertension: Detect high blood pressure at night, which is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events.
Our medical team will provide you with detailed instructions regarding the procedure. You are generally advised to continue your normal daily activities during the monitoring period, which may include light to moderate exercise unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.
You will wear the ambulatory blood pressure monitor for 24 hours, including while you sleep. During this period, it’s important to maintain a diary of your daily activities and any symptoms you experience. This information helps your healthcare provider accurately interpret your blood pressure readings.
24-hour Blood Pressure Monitoring is a safe and non-invasive procedure with minimal risks. Some patients may experience minor discomfort or slight skin irritation from the cuff’s inflation and prolonged wear, but these effects are temporary.
The results of 24-hour Blood Pressure Monitoring provide detailed information about your blood pressure patterns, helping to:
Verify the presence of hypertension and differentiate between its types.
Evaluate your risk of cardiovascular events based on blood pressure variability and nocturnal hypertension.
Inform decisions about treatment plans and lifestyle modifications.

Ari Frank2024-07-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First off I would like to say that the wait time can be long sometimes, but the best is worth the wait. Dr. Suleman is an amazing doctor and his staff most definitely show his same mannerisms. My nurse Leraido (sorry for butchering your name) was amazing and kind. Thanks Heart Beat Clinic Keli Lark2024-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You will wait forever to see him so plan on being there the whole day but you will get the most comprehensive testing and help. More so than anyone else I've ever seen. Finally got a diagnosis after two years of specialists and GPs dismissing me. He is worth the wait. Nicole Borgerding2023-01-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Suleman and his staff are amazing. Is he the "sit you down and hug you" type, no. Is he highly knowledge and informative in what he does, more than I could ever describe in words - YES! He provided resources for me to educate myself further and presented all of my options, before WE figured out the best solution for ME. As someone who's seen well over 15 specialists this year, throughout a nightmare diagnostics journey, he is by far the most respected and favored of any of them. Couldn't recommend him more. Joanna Rich2022-08-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I finally feel like I'm moving forward and getting taken seriously by the Heartbeat Clinic and Dr. Suleman. Update: Answers! It's been a few months since I first posted and I wanted to stress that although it may feel like a lot (I did a number of tests over the last three months) I am finally getting answers. Dr. Suleman took my pain and frustration and didn't tell me I was crazy or just do a basic check up. I can see why I was referred to him. The office in McKinney is easy to locate with lots of parking. Josue Mercado2022-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Suleman is one of the very few doctors I trust and truly admire for his knowledge for POTS. I developed POTS after Covid and he did very extensive testing which no other doctor wanted to do at first. His straightforward and I personally recommend him for any dysautonomia issue! All testing is in his office besides labs, which is very convenient since you are not having to go to multiple places. I trust Dr. Suleman so much that I have referred many people to his practice from all over the world. I highly recommend him!
