Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

About the Case Discussion Topic: Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a diagnostic tool used to measure blood pressure at regular intervals over 24 hours while a patient goes about their daily activities. It helps identify conditions such as white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and nocturnal hypertension, which may be missed during routine clinic measurements. In case discussions, ABPM is valuable for assessing the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy and guiding treatment adjustments. It provides a more accurate and comprehensive picture of a patient’s blood pressure patterns. This discussion emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring in improving cardiovascular outcomes and individualized care.
