Patients who were ‘morning people’ were less likely to have a heart attack if they took their medication in the morning, the study found.
Research has shown that hypertension patients who take blood pressure medication at a time aligned with their body clock have a reduced risk of having a heart attack.
More than 5,000 people from the Treatment in Morning versus Evening trial completed an online questionnaire that assessed how their body clock is tuned, with about half respondents stating they take their medication in the morning, and the other half in the evening. The team concluded that respondents who take their medication during the times which they feel more attuned to could be better protecting their hearts.
“However, before any patients change when they are taking their antihypertensive medications, our findings first need to be confirmed in new randomised clinical trials of personalised chronotherapy.”
