About this ebook
As hypertension diagnosis and management increasingly move beyond isolated office measurements, ABPM has become essential for identifying white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, nocturnal hypertension, abnormal circadian blood pressure patterns, and treatment-resistant disease. This book translates the technical and physiological complexities of ABPM into clear, clinically applicable strategies for healthcare professionals.
Key topics include:
Fundamentals of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, including physiology and circadian blood pressure regulation
Comparison of ABPM with office and home blood pressure monitoring
Indications for ABPM, including resistant hypertension, masked hypertension, and nocturnal hypertension
Patient preparation, device setup, calibration, and monitoring protocols
Interpretation of ABPM reports, including daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour blood pressure analysis
Recognition of dipping patterns, reverse dipping, morning blood pressure surge, and blood pressure variability
Clinical applications in hypertension management and cardiovascular risk stratification
Use of ABPM in paediatric, geriatric, and complex cardiovascular populations
The book emphasizes practical interpretation and clinical integration, helping clinicians understand not only how ABPM works, but also how to use its findings to improve diagnosis, optimize therapy, and refine long-term cardiovascular management.
Special attention is given to:
White coat and masked hypertension detection
Nocturnal blood pressure abnormalities and cardiovascular outcomes
Secondary and resistant hypertension evaluation
Case-based interpretation of real-world ABPM reports
Limitations, patient compliance issues, and device-related challenges
Emerging technologies, including wearable monitoring systems, telemedicine integration, and artificial intelligence in blood pressure analytics
Built around practical workflows, reporting examples, case studies, and evidence-based insights, this volume transforms ABPM from a technical investigation into a powerful clinical decision-making tool.
