How can ambulatory blood pressure monitoring help me?

What is ABPM | What Does it Look Like | Living Normally | Will it Help | Who Benefits

Blood pressure is characterized by a clear circadian rhythm, the natural 24-hour rhythm set by the body's "biological clock." Blood pressure normally rises in the early morning, varies during the day depending on activity and falls during sleep.

While blood pressure readings taken occasionally at the doctor's office may be able to signal a problem, ABPM provides a more comprehensive picture of actual blood pressure status. It's also a better predictor of organ damage and heart problems caused by hypertension than standard blood pressure test. This means you and your doctor have solid information to rely on when considering treatment options.
