Achieving 24 hours BP Control-A Practical approach

24 h BP control should be an integral part of the antihypertensive drug treatment strategy. Long-acting agents provide sustained and consistent BP control throughout 24 h.

24 h blood pressure (BP) measurements are particularly important predictors of adverse CV outcome. 24 h BP control should be an integral part of the antihypertensive drug treatment strategy. Not all once daily antihypertensive agents can provide such 24 h control, only intrinsically long-acting agents are best equipped to provide sustained and consistent BP control throughout 24 h.
