The importance of rhythmic activities in humans, and their influence on the diseases are underscored. Clinical chronology is fundamental in order to interpret the physiopathological basis of temporary variations. Knowing the variability of the biological processes also makes it possible improving the effect of drugs utilized and minimize their adverse effects. This is the objective of Chronotherapy. We apply chronology and Chronotherapy in cardiovascular diseases, since many of them adjust their prevalence for specific rhythms. One thinks about the mechanisms or factors that favor cardiovascular diseases, especially those related to the circadian variations of blood pressure. We also review the variations in the pharmacokinetics of the drugs used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, delving further into the analysis of its effects according to their administration schedule. We can conclude that the use of those drugs according to the chronological knowledge makes possible to achieve better results in the control of cardiovascular diseases, and a greater safety in its use. |
