A 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring test allows the cardiologist to understand clearly how a patient’s blood pressure changes throughout the day and night, giving a far more accurate picture than a single clinic reading.
24 hour BP
01Why It’s Done
Dr Lee may recommend this for patients with:
Confirming a diagnosis of hypertension
Assessing “white-coat” high blood pressure
Fine-tuning blood pressure medication
02How It Works
A blood pressure cuff and a small portable machine are fitted.
Readings are taken automatically at regular intervals for 24 hours.
You go about your normal daily activities and sleep.
The results are reviewed by the cardiologist.
03Duration, Recovery & What To Expect
The fitting usually takes less than 15 minutes. The cuff and monitor are worn under clothing for one day. There is no downtime.
A single reading can be misleading. 24-hour monitoring captures your true average and how pressure behaves day and night. Regular BP check at home provides useful numbers to guide treatment.
