Ambulatory BP monitoring includes readings of blood pressure of a patient taken over 24 consecutive hours. Blood pressure is typically monitored every 20-30 minutes during the daytime and every one hour when the patient is asleep at night.

Ambulatory BP monitoring may be required for patients with hypertension, cardiac failure, active heart disorders, pregnant ladies diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, etc.
