Ambulatory BP Monitor (24 hours)

Details

Monitors & provide continuous recording of blood pressure readings over a 24-hour period, offering a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure variability throughout the day and night.
These monitors use a cuff placed around the patient’s arm, similar to standard BP measurement devices used in clinics, but are designed for extended wear and automatic periodic inflation to record readings.
Has to wear during normal daily activities, including sleep, which provides a more accurate representation of their blood pressure patterns compared to readings taken in a clinical setting.
Helps diagnose conditions like white coat hypertension (elevated BP in clinical settings but normal at home) and nocturnal hypertension (elevated BP during sleep), which may not be captured in a single clinic visit.
Recorded BP data is analysed to determine average BP levels, fluctuations throughout the day, night-time dipping patterns (if BP decreases during sleep), and other parameters that guide treatment decisions and management of hypertension.
