ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring), or 24-hour blood pressure testing, is a modern diagnostic method that provides continuous, real-time data on blood pressure fluctuations throughout the day and night. Unlike single measurements taken in a clinic, ABPM offers a comprehensive view of your blood pressure patterns and helps identify hidden hypertension (such as “white coat syndrome”) or overtreatment risks.
Suspected high blood pressure (hypertension)
Inconsistent or elevated readings in the doctor’s office
Monitoring treatment effectiveness for diagnosed hypertension
Evaluation of symptoms like dizziness, headaches, or visual disturbances
Patients with diabetes, kidney disease, or heart conditions
Preventive assessment in asymptomatic individuals with risk factors
A lightweight, automatic blood pressure cuff is placed on your upper arm and connected to a compact recording device worn on a belt or strap. The monitor:
Measures blood pressure every 15–30 minutes during the day
Measures every 30–60 minutes at night
You continue your daily activities as usual while the device collects data, which ensures real-world accuracy. After 24 hours, the monitor is removed, and a specialist evaluates the detailed report, including a graphical analysis and diagnostic summary.
No special preparation is required
Continue your regular medications unless otherwise instructed by your doctor
Ensure the cuff stays properly positioned throughout the day
Do not shower or bathe while wearing the device (it is not waterproof)
Wear comfortable, short-sleeved clothing on the day of the test
