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.
