Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is when your blood pressure is measured over a 24- hour period, whether you’re awake or asleep. You would be required to wear a cuff on your arm and a small device that is attached to a strap or belt. It will occur outside of a clinical setting, as you go about your daily life.

ABMP takes many readings over a continuous period of time and detects any abnormal changes in blood pressure that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Ambulatory blood pressure is used for many reasons, including to:

• Confirm diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure)
• See how well your blood pressure medication is controlling your high blood pressure
• Identify how changes in your blood pressure can relate to your daily activities and sleep patterns.

If you would like to get your blood pressure monitored on a continuous basis for 24 hours to detect any potential abnormalities in your blood pressure, then please book an appointment to speak to one of our trained professionals.
