How to diagnose hypertension by 24-hour blood pressure monitoring

24-hour blood pressure monitoring can diagnose hypertension by observing whether blood pressure is continuously higher than normal.

24-hour blood pressure monitoring is an important test method to evaluate blood pressure changes. This method can record blood pressure values for 24 consecutive hours, including day and night changes. If blood pressure is continuously ≥140/90mmHg, it is necessary to consider the possibility of hypertension. In addition, by determining specific blood pressure indicators, it can provide reference for subsequent treatment.

Hypertension is a common chronic disease that requires long-term treatment and management, and may cause various complications such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the later stage, so early intervention is needed.
