  • Daytime is defined as 7:01 to 23:00 and night-time as 23:01 to 7:00.

  • Data are mean±SEM.

  • SBP, DBP, MAP and PP are measured in mm Hg. Dipping is in per cent.

  • ap Value <0.05.

  • BD, bedtime dosing; CL, confidence limits; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, heart rate; MAP, mean arterial pressure; MD, morning dosing; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
