Blood pressure varies throughout the day. It is influenced by stress, physical activity, sleep, and even emotions. That’s why a single measurement at the doctor’s office does not always reflect the true picture. At Diagnostic Center “Heart,” we offer Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) – a 24-hour test that records your blood pressure in real-life conditions, providing a comprehensive overview of your values.

This method is painless, completely safe, and extremely accurate for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing hypertension.

What is ABPM?

ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring) is a 24-hour recording of blood pressure using a special device worn by the patient. The device automatically measures blood pressure at regular intervals – both during the day and at night – and stores the results for later analysis by a cardiologist.

This test provides objective information about blood pressure values outside the doctor’s office – during sleep, physical exertion, or emotional stress.

When is ABPM recommended?

ABPM is used in cases such as:

• Suspected arterial hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Possible masked hypertension (normal in clinic, high in daily life)
• Diagnosed hypertension with unclear patterns
• Evaluating the effectiveness of antihypertensive treatment
• Suspected nocturnal hypertension
• Symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, or ringing in the ears
• Blood pressure changes due to stress, exertion, or sleep
• Monitoring during pregnancy and preeclampsia
• Preoperative evaluation or high cardiovascular risk

What can ABPM detect?

• Consistently or episodically elevated blood pressure
• Sudden spikes or drops in blood pressure at different times
• Nocturnal hypertension or absence of normal nighttime dip
• Hypotension (low blood pressure) and its connection to symptoms
• Assessment of the real effect of medications on blood pressure
• Morning surges that are linked to increased risk of stroke or heart attack

How does the ABPM procedure work?

1. A specialist places the device – a cuff on the arm connected to a small unit worn on the belt
2. The device is programmed to measure blood pressure every 15–30 minutes during the day and less frequently at night
3. The patient continues normal activities – working, walking, sleeping, eating – and records symptoms or stress in a diary
4. The next day, the device is returned, and the data is downloaded and analyzed by a cardiologist

The procedure is non-invasive and completely safe, suitable for both adults and children.
