 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently saw Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco after experiencing chest pain and worrying it could be heart-related. He was attentive, thorough and highly efficient, quickly reassuring me through the appropriate tests that my heart was healthy and the pain was not cardiac-related. I would highly recommend him. A special mention also goes to Alessandra, his assistant, who is an absolute gem. She was incredibly efficient, responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. An excellent team and a very reassuring experience from start to finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Dr Lo Monaco after having an unsatisfactory appointment with a different cardiologist, I cannot recommend Dr Lo Monaco enough, his attention to detail was unparalleled and he took the time to go into my history and ensure that he had every detail of my health covered, he was very very pleasant, calm, reassuring and made sure I had a comprehensive and detailed picture of my heart health, I cannot stress enough that no matter how unsure you are about your heart health, this is definitely the place to go, it was comforting to know that any worries I had, no matter how slight or great, they were all met with the same high level of attention, I feel so much more relaxed about my heart health after my appointments with Dr Lo Monaco, he is an absolute gentleman and a shining example of what the medical profession should be

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco highly enough. From my initial consultation regarding concerning chest pain, his level of care, professionalism, and expertise were truly outstanding. What immediately sets Dr. Lo Monaco apart is his incredible attention to detail and active listening. During our meeting, he asked all the right questions and took note of every single detail of my medical history and symptoms without missing a single thing. He made me feel completely heard and valued as a patient. When it came to investigating my chest pain, his approach was methodical, targeted, and refreshingly ethical. Rather than ordering a blanket of unnecessary procedures that would only drive up costs, he carefully selected the exact diagnostics needed for an accurate diagnosis. His care was seamless across both The Clementine Churchill Hospital and The National Heart Clinic on Harley Street, where I underwent an ECG, an angiogram, a 72-hour heart monitor, and stress tests. Throughout the testing process, Dr. Lo Monaco explained every procedure clearly, ensuring I felt completely at ease. He is deeply personal, deeply caring, and represents the absolute gold standard of what a consultant cardiologist should be: brilliant clinically, transparent with costs, and wholly dedicated to his patients' well-being. If you are looking for a top-tier heart specialist in London, look no further.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most positive experience with Dr Francesco Lo Monaco and team. Punctual and flexible call hours, extremely astute and efficient learn health history, cover/test a very wide range of variables related, and confident/ making me confident in the diagnosis. All of which was accomplished within a short period (some of which was done remotely as well). Equally, Dr Francesco Lo Monaco‘s team of doctors and nurses were professional, knew exactly what they were doing and polite/welcoming the whole time. My most “heart” felt thank you to the Doc and team, and can only offer my highest recommendations!

WHAT IS A 24-HOUR AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR?

A 24hr BP Monitor, also known as an Ambulatory BP Monitor, is a wearable digital device that records your blood pressure throughout the day, during routine activities and even when you sleep. It helps your cardiologist decide whether you have true hypertension or it’s a white-coat effect caused by anxiety during clinic visits.

HOW DOES 24HR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORK?

The ABPM is considered more accurate and reliable than single clinic readings. The process is simple. Just wear a small cuff and portable monitor on your upper arm for 24 hours to record your blood pressure at regular intervals during daily activities and sleep. After the monitoring period, your cardiologist reviews the data to analyse your blood pressure patterns and recommend appropriate treatment.

TYPES OF AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORS

Standard ABPM

These are the most common and precise ambulatory BP monitors, which record your blood pressure every 20-30 minutes throughout the day to create a complete 24-hour profile.

Smart ABPM

These modern devices sync with mobile apps to display real-time readings to allow clinicians access data quickly and better understand their patients’ blood pressure patterns.

Auscultatory ABPM

These ABPMs detect Korotkoff sounds through an acoustic transducer to provide accurate systolic and diastolic readings. Movement and variable sound patterns can affect the procedure’s reliability.

Oscillometric ABPM

Oscillometric BP monitors use advanced sensors to detect arterial wall vibrations during cuff inflation. These devices, however, may show errors due to posture change, making their readings less reliable.

WHY YOU MIGHT NEED 24-HOUR AMBULATORY BP MONITORING?

24h Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitoring gives a more comprehensive and accurate picture of your BP patterns throughout the day and night. It helps your doctor identify underlying cardiac conditions, including:

White-Coat or Masked Hypertension
People whose clinic readings don’t reflect their actual blood pressure need an Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring test to detect white-coat hypertension or masked hypertension.
Uncontrolled BP Patterns
ABPM can reveal the pattern of your blood pressure and hidden spikes throughout the day, thus helping prevent complications such as stroke, kidney damage, or heart attack.
Nocturnal Hypertension
Some individuals develop high blood pressure during sleep without noticing symptoms. ABPM takes BP readings overnight to identify abnormal nocturnal patterns, including non-dipping or reverse-dipping.

To Prevent the Risk of Complications
People with diabetes or with a family history of cardiovascular diseases can benefit greatly from ABPM. It provides a complete BP record of 24 hours to detect fluctuations that increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, or organ damage.
To Determine the Treatment Efficiency
An ambulatory BP monitoring device assesses how well your prescribed medication controls your blood pressure over 24 hours to help clinicians adjust your medicine dosage.

FAQs

24hr Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is available through Dr Francesco Lo Monaco’s private cardiology clinic at Harley Street, London. The monitor records your blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period while you continue with your usual daily activities. Remote monitoring may also be arranged where clinically appropriate.

Lay down straight with the cuff positioned correctly. You can remove the belt holding the monitor to feel more comfortable, but the cuff from your upper arm must stay in place.

Yes, you can comfortably drive as the device does not restrict your body movement while driving.

The ABPM automatically records readings at set intervals, so no manual checks are required.

Intense physical activity, changes in body posture, smoking, and caffeine can disturb your blood pressure readings during a 24-hour monitoring period.

Fitting the BP monitor typically takes 10-15 minutes for cuff sizing and device setup.

Most ABPM devices are not turned off by the patients; instead, they switch off automatically once the monitoring period ends.

Wearing a 24-hour BP monitor is completely safe and doesn’t cause any risks. However, sometimes, you may notice a temporary discomfort or mild skin irritation that gets healed on its own.

No, you must keep the device dry and avoid taking a shower while wearing an ambulatory BP monitor.

Private 24-hour BP monitoring in London typically costs between £200 and £400, depending on the clinic and reporting facility.
