Integrated Consultation Options

Available as standalone diagnostic service or combined with General Internal Medicine consultation focused on hypertension management for comprehensive care.

Service Overview

Our ambulatory blood pressure monitoring service offers 24-hour ABPM as either a standalone diagnostic service or in combination with a referral to General Internal Medicine with a focus on hypertension management throughout Calgary and surrounding communities in Alberta. This diagnostic tool allows for more accurate assessment of blood pressure patterns, including nocturnal values and variability for patients.

We provide comprehensive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to help referring physicians obtain accurate blood pressure assessment beyond office measurements. This service is particularly valuable for patients where office blood pressure readings may not reflect true blood pressure control or when detailed assessment of blood pressure patterns is clinically indicated.

Our approach includes proper device fitting and patient education, comprehensive interpretation of 24-hour blood pressure data, and detailed reporting to referring physicians with clinical recommendations based on ABPM findings.

If your patient has specific concerns related to their hypertension—such as suspected secondary causes, evidence of end-organ damage, or medication intolerance—please include that information to help us triage appropriately and ensure timely follow-up with integrated consultation services when indicated.
