Stay Informed with the latest clinical guidance:
With new scientific guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP), here’s the latest on how and when to use ABPM with your patients.
Clinical Standard for Adults from the aHA
The ACC/AHA guidelines recommend ABPM for adults not taking antihypertensive medication with:
- Systolic BP between 130 and 160mm Hg or
- Diastolic BP between 80 and 100mm Hg should get screened with ABPM
And Annual ABPM for detection of progression with a diagnosis of Elevated BP or White Coat Hypertension.

- 24-hour 125/75
- Awake 130/80
- Asleep 110/65
- Nocturnal Dip 20%
