Ambulatory monitoring blood pressure

AMP is diagnostic procedure of 24 hour blood pressure monitoring at every 60 min time interval. It provides precise information about mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as their oscillations around the day. The especial value in the analysis and interpretation has comparing these values with the diary of daily activities, mental and emotional state during 24 hours.

In this manner we get objectified assessment of blood pressure values without psychological and/or emotional impacts of white coat, because measuring is spontaneous and recording is during sleep as well.

By pairing frequency and BP values we can calculate cardiac index which is indicator of etiology of found results (heart or other reason).

Holter ECG

Follow up of electrocardiogram tracings during 24 hours is valuable diagnostic method to evaluate frequency of heart rate and those disturbances in rhythm and conduction of electric heart impulses.

One of the possible analyses is revealing the existence of coronary heart disease.

However, it is beneficiary method to evaluate the effects of given therapy. Therefore,it is possible to follow up medicamentous response.

On the other hand, Holter ECG is done before the invasive electrophysiological study (in the cat lab) and implantation of permanent pace maker.

By this method we can get interpolation of all results of ECG analysis such as: heart rate variability and heart rate turbulence. These newly interesting interpolations are derived by complicated mathematical calculations (done by softver) and are contributing in the follow up of stabilization in the proarrhythmic heart states (such as myocarditis).
