Ambulatory blood pressure monitors (ABPMs) are portable devices that automatically measure and record a patient's blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, even while the patient is going about their normal daily activities and sleeping. This provides a comprehensive overview of blood pressure fluctuations throughout the day and night, offering a more accurate diagnosis of hypertension, especially "white coat hypertension" or masked hypertension, compared to single in-clinic readings. ABPMs are crucial for optimizing blood pressure management and reducing cardiovascular risks.
