Summary
The MAPEC study was designed to investigate whether normalizing the circadian blood pressure
profile towards a more dipper pattern (increasing the diurnal/nocturnal ratio of blood
pressure) by the use of Chronotherapy (that is, taking into account the time of day of
administration of antihypertensive medications) reduces cardiovascular risk.
