Paediatric cardiology clinic

The cuff on the arm inflates at regular intervals — roughly every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes at night.

During each measurement your child should let the arm hang loosely and keep it still. If possible, they should stand still for a moment.

The device must not come into contact with water, so your child should not bathe or shower during monitoring.

The day should be as ordinary as possible — normal school and home activity, but no sports training.

Please tell us how your child slept during the night. Poor sleep can affect blood pressure.
