Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor, or ABPM for its acronym, is a study that is carried out using a device similar to a conventional blood pressure monitor, which has different programs to carry out the pressure 24 hours a day.

This study is useful for the precise diagnosis of high blood pressure in the following cases:

The patient cannot take the pressure at home to obtain a diagnosis.

The pressure figures obtained at home generate doubt or are at the limit.

He is a young patient with an unlikely diagnosis of high blood pressure.

White coat hypertension or masked hypertension is suspected

Know the control of blood pressure when adding or withdrawing a medication

You want to know exactly the pressure figures for the diagnosis or discard of the disease

In any case, it is important to know that it will not be possible to perform physical activity during the study since it will alter the blood pressure figures.
