title: Chronobiology in cardiovascular disease. Proceedings from the European Society of Cardiology.
abstract: Clinical research in the field of cardiovascular chronobiology has been quite productive during the past decade and results have stimulated new areas of investigation in a field of clinical pharmacology known as chronotherapeutics. Chronotherapeutics is a term that has been used when the delivery of a drug is linked to known biologic rhythms in a disease state. This approach is relatively new to practicing phyusicians in that conventional wisdom has been to administer drugs in a homeostatic fashion.
