2. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.
ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.
ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.
The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.
Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.
3. BT CT
The BT CT Test measures bleeding time and clotting time to assess the blood’s clotting ability.
No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
A healthcare provider makes a small incision on your skin to measure bleeding time and tests how long it takes for your blood to clot in a tube.
The BT CT Test helps diagnose bleeding disorders like haemophilia and clotting disorders such as thrombocytopenia.
The BT CT Test involves minimal risks, such as minor bleeding or bruising at the site of the incision.
