Diagnostic examinations and
other nursing care
Ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM)
Your doctor may have prescribed ABPM to diagnose or monitor a blood pressure disorder.
ABPM is a small machine connected to a cuff that you wear at home for a 24-hour period. Your blood pressure is automatically measured every 30 minutes during the day and every hour at night. Each measurement is recorded, and a report of the results is sent to your doctor. Electrocardiogram (EKG)
Your doctor may have prescribed an EKG to diagnose a heart rhythm disorder, to follow up on a known medical condition, or for preventive purposes.
The EKG is a non-invasive test that evaluates the electrical activity of your heart. During the examination, a series of electrodes are placed on your chest, wrists and ankles. A "picture" of your heart's electrical activity is then taken.
Your EKG will be analyzed by a cardiologist, and the results sent to your doctor. CardioSTAT (Holter) - Advanced Cardiovascular Monitoring
