Ambulatory Blood Pressure
Ambulatory blood pressure is a device to record blood pressure readings during a 24 hour period. A blood pressure cuff is attached to the patient and allows him or her to go about daily activities, while a device records blood pressures at defined intervals. Once the recordings are completed, this information is reviewed and analyzed by a cardiologist. This information is useful in determining the severity of high blood pressure.
