ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring)
Our hospital provides advanced Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) to help patients understand their blood pressure patterns throughout the day and night. Unlike a single blood pressure reading taken in the clinic, ABPM continuously measures your blood pressure for 24 hours through a small, portable device you wear on your arm. This gives your doctor a more accurate picture of how your blood pressure behaves during normal activities, sleep, work, and stress.
