Key Features of ABPM: 24-hour monitoring: Gives a full picture of blood pressure changes throughout the day and night. More accurate than one-time measurements in a clinic, as it avoids "white coat hypertension." Helps diagnose conditions like: Hypertension Masked hypertension Nocturnal hypertension Blood pressure variability How It Works: A cuff is placed on your arm and connected to a small digital device worn on a belt. The device automatically inflates and records BP at set intervals.
