24-hour Holter blood pressure monitoring is a procedure that allows continuous monitoring of a patient's blood pressure throughout the day, including overnight hours. This test allows doctors to accurately diagnose fluctuations in blood pressure that are not always visible in standard measurements, that occur only during a doctor's visit, or as nocturnal hypertension.

A Holter blood pressure monitor consists of a small device with a cuff that is placed on the patient's arm. This cuff automatically measures blood pressure at regular intervals, over a 24-hour period. During the test, the patient can continue to perform their daily activities, but it is important to avoid excessive physical activity that could affect the results.

This test helps diagnose high blood pressure that is not recorded in the office, which is very important for proper management of hypertension and adjustment of therapy. In addition, 24-hour Holter blood pressure is used to monitor the effectiveness of hypertension treatment, as it allows insight into long-term changes in blood pressure.

The test is very useful in the prevention of heart disease and stroke, as it allows precise measurement of pressure variations that can affect health. Once the test is complete, the data is analyzed, and the doctor draws conclusions and recommends further treatment based on this data.
