| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding chronopharmacology in the management of hypertension. Introduction: Chronotherapeutic aspects of antihypertensives allow for adopting management of hypertension based on the medication used and the patient’s background. Different types of hypertension lead to different patterns in the variation of hypertension with time, however the most critical periods in hypertensive patients are the early morning and night time period. Aims: ▫ To test the effect of perindopril and valsartan on the 24 hour blood pressure profile. ▫ To compare the effects of morning vs evening dosing on circadian blood pressure. |
