What is an ABPM Test?

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a non-invasive test that measures your blood pressure continuously over 24 hours while you go about your normal daily activities. A small portable device is worn on your arm, which automatically records BP readings at regular intervals throughout the day and night.

Why is ABPM Test Done?

Dr. Pramod Joshi may recommend ABPM to:

• Diagnose high blood pressure (hypertension) accurately
• Detect white coat hypertension (high BP only in clinic)
• Identify masked hypertension (normal in clinic but high otherwise)
• Monitor effectiveness of BP medications
• Assess blood pressure variations over 24 hours

Benefits of ABPM Test

• Provides continuous 24-hour monitoring
• More accurate than single BP readings
• Detects hidden BP issues
• Helps in personalized treatment planning
• Non-invasive and easy to use

Procedure Overview

• A BP cuff is placed on your arm
• Connected to a small portable monitor
• BP is recorded every 15–30 minutes
• You continue your normal daily routine
• Data is analyzed after 24 hours

Is ABPM Test Safe?

Yes, ABPM is completely safe and painless. It does not involve any radiation and is widely used for accurate blood pressure assessment.

When Should You Get an ABPM Test?

You may need ABPM if you have:

• Fluctuating blood pressure readings
• Suspected hypertension
• Dizziness or headaches
• High-risk conditions like diabetes or heart disease
