24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) may be instrumental in the following scenarios:
-Diagnosis of Hypertension,
-Identification of Masked Hypertension
(elevated BP under specific circumstances, e.g., stress),
-Exclusion of White Coat Hypertension (elevated BP in medical settings, normal otherwise)
Supporting Treatments:
- Monitoring the efficacy of blood pressure management,
- Optimization of antihypertensive medication dosing,
- Surveillance of response to hypertension treatment,
- Diagnosis and management of three or more blood pressure peaks (non-dipping pattern),
- Monitoring of idiopathic hypertension.
