Medical [Medical] Circadian Rhythm and Morning Hypertension
2020.12.06 11:08
*Of note, "Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are highly effective antihypertensive agents and are widely regarded as having tolerability profiles similar to that of placebo (Meredith 2005). Of the commercially available ARBs, telmisartan has the longest half-life of about 24 h (Burnier and Maillard 2001; Brunner 2002). Brand name of telmesarten is Micardis."

Hypertension upon arousal in early morning hours in elderly
has been well known to cardiologists, which is related to
changes or dysfunction of circadian rhythm due to aging
and requires taking antihypertensives in the evening hours
so that the peak drug effect coincides with rising in BP on arousal in early AM.
