Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in Guildford & Surrey

Accurate private blood pressure assessment with fast access
 

If you’re concerned about high blood pressure — or you’ve been told you may have hypertension — a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) is one of the most accurate ways to assess your true blood pressure levels.

 

At VR Private Clinics, we offer ABPM monitoring within our Hypertension Optimisation Pathway, coordinated quickly and interpreted in clinical context.

 

Patients often seek private ABPM when they want:

 

  • clarity, not uncertainty

  • accurate diagnosis

  • faster action than NHS timelines

  • a proper plan and follow-up

 

 

We support patients from:

Guildford, Godalming, Woking, Cobham, Weybridge, Esher, Farnham, Haslemere, Leatherhead and Kingston upon Thames.

What is ABPM?

ABPM measures your blood pressure repeatedly over 24 hours, including:

 

  • daytime readings

  • evening readings

  • night-time readings

 

 

This gives a true picture of your average blood pressure and helps guide:

 

  • whether medication is needed

  • whether treatment is working

  • your long-term cardiovascular risk

Why ABPM is better than single BP readings

Clinic readings can be misleading.

 

ABPM helps identify:

 

  • White coat hypertension (BP high only in clinic)

  • Masked hypertension (BP normal in clinic but high at home)

  • Night-time hypertension (important risk marker)

  • True average BP for correct diagnosis

Who benefits from private ABPM monitoring?

ABPM is especially useful if:

 

  • your readings are inconsistent

  • you’ve had borderline or rising BP for months

  • you want a definitive diagnosis

  • you’ve started medication and want confirmation it’s working

  • you’re focusing on longevity and prevention

ABPM is included in our Hypertension Optimisation Pathway

✅ Hypertension Optimisation Pathway (ABPM + Echo) - £2195

 

 

This pathway includes:

 

  • GP assessment

  • blood pressure review and optimisation plan

  • 24-hour ABPM monitoring

  • cardiologist-reported Echocardiogram

  • results review and next steps

 

 

This gives you both:

✅ accurate blood pressure diagnosis

✅ assessment of whether high BP has affected the heart

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ABPM uncomfortable?

 

 

Most people tolerate it well. It inflates periodically over 24 hours and may cause mild temporary discomfort.

 

 

Can I go to work while wearing it?

 

 

Yes — you can typically continue normal daily activity.

 

 

Do I need ABPM if I already have a home BP monitor?

 

 

Home monitoring helps, but ABPM is more objective and includes night-time readings.

 

 

Can ABPM help reduce medication?

 

 

Sometimes. If readings are only elevated in clinic, ABPM can prevent unnecessary treatment.
