Identification of Masked Hypertension: ABPM can detect masked hypertension, where blood pressure is normal in the office but elevated at home. 3. Assessment of Blood Pressure Variability: ABPM measures blood pressure variability, which is a predictor of cardiovascular risk. 4. Detection of Nocturnal Hypertension: ABPM can identify nocturnal hypertension, which is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. 5.
