Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a new method of evaluating the blood pressure of a person. Instead of sitting nervously on the doctor's examiner's table, ABPM allows the doctor to assess a patient’s blood pressure during their daily routine life. The Ambulatory Pressure Surveillance Blood (ABPM) is done to measure the blood pressure while individuals go around and live normal through everyday lives. It's small enough to prevent it from affecting your daily life and one can sleep with it.

ABPM, on the other hand, reports blood pressurizations one gets from running to catching a bus to sleeping through a variety of activities and situations. And during the many activities that someone normally performs in a day, it is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate tremendously. Thus the ABPM doesn't simply give a single value to the systolic or diastolic blood pressure, unlike blood pressure in the doctor's office, it is supposed to represent your official blood pressure, rather it reports a whole range of widely-variable values (often over one day or longer).

A different approach to interpreting your blood pressure recordings is required when using ABPM to diagnose hypertension. Average systolic and diastolic blood pressures for a full 24 hour period and also for hours when the person wakes up and goes to sleep are the most common technique used to assess the results of ABPM.

Hypertension is diagnosed in general when one of the following values exceeds the average blood pressure:

• Average 24-hour blood pressure: systemic blood pressure above 120 mmHg, or diastolic over 80 mmHg.

• The mean of "wake" times is systolic over 140 mmHg or diastolic over 90 mmHg.

• Average time for "Asleep": systolic over 124 mmHg blood pressure, or diastolic over 75 mmHg blood pressure.

When Is ABPM Used?

ABPM helps evaluate people with high blood pressure in a white coat, enabling its doctors to determine if their in-office blood pressure levels reflect a 'non-resting' state (i.e. anxiousness) rather than a 'quiet rest' state required to accurately register blood pressure in-service. While the frequent high blood pressure readings in the office show hypertension, this is sometimes not the case.

Increasingly, ambulatory BP monitoring is used to determine how well antihypertensive drugs manage high BP. In some cases, BP is not controlled effectively all day and night by antihypertensive drugs. Depending on the BP patterns of the patient, a doctor may have to adjust the prescribed dosage, or the time the medication is given. In other cases, BP may have to be stabilized with more than one drug. Monitoring Ambulatory BP may also help to predict the risk of hypertension and organs-related cardiovascular (heart blood vessels) and cerebrovascular (brain blood vessels) diseases. Our organization is one of the few in India that understood the clinical value of outpatient blood pressure monitoring in newly detected high blood pressure patients extensively. The results of the understanding help doctors determine the hypertension of young men. The selection of patients for ABPM can help with these demographic aspects.
