5,000-participant study suggests aligning blood pressure meds with individual body clocks reduces heart attack risk for hypertension patients.

5,000-participant study finds that aligning blood pressure medication with an individual's body clock or chronotype can reduce heart attack risk for hypertension patients. "Morning larks" who took their medication in the morning had a lower risk of heart attack, while "night owls" who took their medication in the evening had a reduced risk of hospitalization for heart attack. Researchers emphasize the need for further clinical trials to confirm these findings before patients change their medication schedules.
