Did you know that uncontrolled high blood pressure contributes to the development of many heart diseases, like heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and others? As the number of deaths due to raised blood pressure continues to rise to 7.5 million worldwide, various innovative technologies to constantly monitor blood pressure are also emerging.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is the gold standard method to monitor and record the patient's blood pressure and heart rate throughout the 24-hour period at fixed intervals. It is done to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension or rule out other possible causes of high blood pressure, like white coat hypertension, nocturnal hypertension, or others.
