Purpose of the study

The purpose of the daily blood pressure test is to assess the patient's blood pressure during daily activity, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and eliminate the phenomenon of so-called "white coat hypertension," i.e., elevated blood pressure occurring only during a doctor's visit.

The test involves recording blood pressure throughout the day: as a rule, measurements are taken every 20 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes at night. Throughout the test, the patient wears a blood pressure measuring device on a belt and a cuff worn on the arm.

The result is available for registration after 3 working days from the date of removal of the recorder.

The test is performed for patients 12 years of age and older.

For patients aged 12 - 18 years, the patient must have a referral from a pediatrician, pediatric cardiologist or other specialist for a Holter RR test.

For adults, a referral is not required.

It is necessary to come to the examination with an identity card, as the condition for the installation of the holter is the signing of a rental agreement for the device. If the test is performed on minors, the ID card is presented by the patient's parent/legal guardian.
