24 Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring
The test measures your blood pressure at different times over a 24-hour period. An inflatable cuff is secured around your arm and connected to a small monitoring device. The cuff will inflate and deflate at regular intervals over a 24-hour period to measure and record your blood pressure. Your blood pressure can change over the course of a day. This test allows us to accurately measure the changes in your blood pressure. This is often more accurate than getting a blood pressure reading in your Doctor’s office.

- The technician will put a blood pressure cuff on your arm, very similar to your Doctor’s office.
- The cuff will then be connected to a monitor that can be attached to your belt.
- The cuff will inflate every 20-30 minutes over the course of a day
- Please make sure you wear a short-Sleeved Shirt
- It is not uncommon for the monitor to inflate and deflate more than once during a reading
- At times, there may be an error message on the monitor, however, this will not affect the test, and you should not worry about it.
- Once the equipment is returned, the results will be sent directly to your Doctor but it could take up to 5-10 business days to get those results
