Cardiovascular diseases are primarily investigated on an outpatient basis, in rare cases on an inpatient basis.
Course of treatment
In order to rule out the phenomenon of "white coat hypertension", i.e. falsely high values in the presence of a healthcare professional, a 24-hour RR recording is often carried out. For this purpose, blood pressure measurements are taken at regular intervals over 24 hours, integrated into your everyday life. This provides an almost realistic representation of the blood pressure situation, in particular nocturnally elevated values can be detected. Isolated elevated nocturnal values or a lack of drop during the night may indicate sleep apnoea and may require further pneumological clarification.
