Description
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in China helps diagnose white-coat or masked hypertension and assess treatment effectiveness, typically costing ¥500–¥1,000 with 24-hour recording; ChinaMedicalHub assists with hospital coordination and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is primarily used to diagnose white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and to assess the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy. It is also useful in evaluating patients with suspected nocturnal hypertension or those experiencing symptoms possibly related to blood pressure fluctuations.
Normal Range
The normal range for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) typically includes: average daytime systolic BP 100-140 mmHg, diastolic BP 60-90 mmHg; nighttime systolic BP 90-120 mmHg, diastolic BP 50-80 mmHg. A 10-20% reduction in BP from daytime to nighttime is considered normal.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Possible causes of low values include: dehydration, heart problems such as bradycardia or heart block, endocrine disorders like adrenal insufficiency, severe infections leading to septic shock, and certain medications that can lower blood pressure excessively.
High Values - Possible Causes
Common reasons for high values include: hypertension, kidney disease, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, and the use of substances such as tobacco, alcohol, or stimulants. Stress and physical activity can also temporarily increase blood pressure readings.
