Grand Rounds – Top POEMs of 2019: “Bedtime Dosing of Anti-hypertensive Improves Outcomes”

Event Details:

Overview:

Whenever we prescribe antihypertensive medications for our patients, we frequently default to asking our patients to take them in the morning. However, what if simply changing the timing of the dose could improve outcomes? This POEM dives into how clinicians can work with our patients' circadian physiology in order to achieve better outcomes from our usual hypertension management, and ultimately reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the condition.

Objectives:

1. Illuminate the relationship between circadian rhythm and RAAS physiology.
2. Discuss how circadian physiology can be used to optimize hypertension treatment outcomes.
3. Determine safety and efficacy of different methods of administering antihypertensive medications.
