Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
Accurate and Comprehensive Blood Pressure Assessment
We are dedicated to providing advanced diagnostic services to monitor your cardiovascular health. Our Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring offers a thorough and continuous assessment of your blood pressure throughout your daily activities, helping to diagnose and manage hypertension and related conditions effectively.
What is Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring?
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a diagnostic procedure that measures your blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period while you go about your daily activities. A portable monitor is worn on your belt and connected to a cuff that automatically inflates at set intervals to record your blood pressure readings.
Why is Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Important?
- Accurate Diagnosis of Hypertension: ABPM provides a comprehensive picture of your blood pressure throughout the day and night, which helps in accurately diagnosing hypertension and evaluating its severity.
- Identifying Blood Pressure Variability: The test helps identify patterns of blood pressure changes, including “white coat syndrome” where blood pressure is elevated in a clinical setting but normal elsewhere.
- Assessing Treatment Efficacy: It is useful for evaluating the effectiveness of blood pressure medications and adjusting treatment plans based on your daily blood pressure variations.
- Monitoring for Potential Issues: Continuous monitoring can detect abnormal blood pressure fluctuations and help prevent complications related to uncontrolled hypertension.
Procedure:
The Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring procedure is straightforward and minimally disruptive. Here’s what you can expect:
- Preparation: You will be fitted with a portable blood pressure monitor that consists of a cuff, a small recording device, and a belt to hold the device.
- Cuff Placement: The cuff is placed around your upper arm and connected to the recording device, which will be worn on a belt around your waist.
- Monitoring: The monitor will automatically inflate the cuff at regular intervals, typically every 15-30 minutes during the day and every 30-60 minutes at night. You will go about your normal activities while wearing the monitor.
- Data Collection: The device records your blood pressure readings throughout the monitoring period. It is important to keep a diary of your activities and any symptoms you experience during this time.
- Data Analysis: After the monitoring period, you will return the device to our clinic. Our healthcare professionals will analyze the recorded data to provide a detailed report on your blood pressure patterns and overall cardiovascular health.
