title: [Chronobiology and chronopharmacology of cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: Physiological functions as well as pathophysiological events--angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death--display pronounced circadian rhythms. Clinical studies also give evidence for a circadian phase dependency in the pharmacokinetics of cardio-vascular active drugs. Thus, a circadian phase dependency in the dose-response relationship of drugs has to be taken into account.
