Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring


Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring is a diagnostic test that continuously records a person's blood pressure over an extended period, usually 24 hours. This examination helps assess blood pressure in real-life conditions of daily life and is particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring hypertension, thereby contributing to improving therapeutic approaches and overall patient health.

It is applied in the following cases:

  • Detection of hypertension in individuals with normal blood pressure readings during clinical visits (white coat hypertension) or hypertension that is not detected during clinical visits (masked hypertension).

  • Monitoring the response to pharmacological treatment for hypertension and adjusting therapy based on the results.

  • Evaluation of blood pressure in individuals with symptoms such as dizziness, headache, or palpitations to determine if they are related to changes in blood pressure.

Advantages of Holter Blood Pressure:

  • Continuous recording: Provides a detailed picture of blood pressure throughout the day and night, including periods of physical activity and sleep.

  • Assessment of blood pressure under real-life conditions: Identifies abnormalities that may not be detected during a clinical visit.

  • Accurate diagnosis: Helps diagnose hypertension and assess the severity of the condition.
