TL;DR
In a large number of antihypertensive patients receiving treatment, blood pressure values remain high during the early-morning hours, and at least half of those patients with an apparently well-controlled office blood pressure do not have their blood pressure under control for the period shortly after waking.
Abstract
In a large number of antihypertensive patients receiving treatment, blood pressure values remain high during the early-morning hours. At least half of those patients with an apparently well-controlled office blood pressure do not have their blood pressure under control for the period shortly after waking.

A sufficiently high risk of stroke (perhaps because of age, blood pressure, or, in particular, history of cerebrovascular disease) may be the clearest indication for antihypertensive treatment.

If coronary arteries become vulnerable to occlusion when the intima covering an atherosclerotic plaque is disrupted, the circadian timing of myocardial infarction may result from a variation in the tendency to thrombosis.

The early morning increase in ST segment depression does not appear to be explained by differences in extrinsic activity and/or stress measured by physical activity score and heart rate response, and this phenomenon is often ignored by the usual patterns of drug administration for angina.

Patients with high or lower left ventricular ejection fraction, higher or lower degree of wall motion abnormalities and residual stenosis of the coronary arteries, and one-, two-, or three-vessel disease exhibited a similar circadian pattern, suggesting that the morning is a risk period for patients with mild as well as severe coronary artery disease.

This circadian distribution of ischaemic episodes and the observed changes with treatment resemble the reported circadian variation of acute myocardial infarction and sudden death.

These figures consistent with the fact that Spain has a higher cerebrovascular mortality than other countries such as the United States represent a great potential for improvement, particularly among those groups registering relatively worse data (younger men, rural residents, and unskilled professionals).

The aim of this study was to provide insight into the mechanism of acute myocardial infarction by determining the modifiers of timing and possible triggers of onset of infarctions by determining characteristics predicting a higher frequency between 6 AM and noon, and onset ofinfarction during exertion.

Investigating if the time of onset of VT might show a similar pattern to that of acute myocardial infarction shows that the most common initial arrhythmia is monomorphic VT, which is frequently preceded by a period of acceleration of the sinus rate.

Although superiority of measurement of 24-h mean blood pressure has not been demonstrated in any prospective controlled study, several cross-sectional investigations have shown that complications of hypertension relate more closely to the 24-H mean than to casual measurements.

Assessment of nocturnal blood pressure seems to be an important tool in the management of patients with hypertensive-related renal disease and of patients who are susceptible to developing it.

Ang II receptor antagonists with an intrinsically long duration of action that produce smooth, sustained antihypertensive activity over the dosing period provide a similar 24 h benefit of Ang II inhibition.

In poorly compliant patients who miss doses of medication, intrinsically long-acting drugs are likely to be superior, because they sustain blood pressure control beyond the dosing interval, while chronoformulations arelikely to provide comparableBlood pressure control in highly compliant patients.
