24-hour blood pressure monitoring

The aim of monitoring your blood pressure for 24 hours is to investigate the level of your blood pressure for a longer period of time, which gives a more accurate picture.

On the day of the examination

Please wait in the waiting room in The Heart Clinic 2, from where the staff will collect you.

It takes approximately 15 minutes to attach the device.

About the examination

The blood pressure device is portable and consists of an armband, which is placed on the upper arm throughout the entire monitoring period and a monitor, which you can carry on your belt. The device takes blood pressure readings four times an hour during the day and twice an hour at night.

You will feel the armband inflate around your upper arm, but the examination is otherwise painless.

Make sure to carry out your normal daily activities (working, riding your bicycle, walking, sports etc.). However, the reading can be affected if the arm is used excessively during a reading. Try to relax your arm as much as possible, while the armband is being inflated.

You cannot shower while wearing the device.

At night, place the bag on your bed to ensure that the device does not fall on the floor. The wires are long enough to enable you to move around in bed.

After the examination

Please take off the equipment yourself and return it to the Heart Clinic 2, unless otherwise agreed.
