Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Blood pressure (BP) exhibits strong diurnal variations that have been shown to be important for normal physiology and health. In this review, we highlight recent advances in both basic and clinic research on how the circadian clock affects these BP rhythms. RECENT FINDINGS: Tissue-specific and inducible knockout rodent models have provided novel ways to dissect how circadian clocks regulate BP rhythms and demonstrated that loss of these rhythms is associated with the development of disease. The use of circadian-specific research protocols has translated findings from rodent models to humans, providing insight into circadian control of BP, as well as how sleep, activity, and other factors influence diurnal BP rhythms. Circadian mechanisms play an important role in the regulation of diurnal BP rhythms. Future research needs to extend these findings to clinical populations and determine the extent to which circadian factors may play a role in the development of novel treatment approaches to the management of hypertension.
