Taking blood pressure pills at bedtime best for cardiovascular health
New research suggests that the best time for people with hypertension to take their blood pressure pills is at bedtime rather than in the morning.
It appears that not only does this timing result in better blood pressure control, but that it also markedly reduces the risk of cardiovascular death and events such as a heart attack or stroke.
Researchers came to these conclusions after analyzing data from the Hygia Chronotherapy Trial.
