Supports 24-hour BP control in hypertension; leaves open whether circadian tailoring improves outcomes.
Antihypertensive therapy should aim for 24-hour blood pressure control regardless of a patient's circadian blood pressure variation or dipping status.
Imai et al. (1999) conducted a review in Hypertension. 24-hour antihypertensive therapy was evaluated. Antihypertensive drug regimens should control blood pressure throughout a 24-hour period regardless of circadian blood pressure variation to mitigate cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
