Abstract:
The commentary by Dr. Smolensky provides an insightful assessment of our study from the circadian point of view. In the present letter, we have responded to the commentary by Dr. Smolensky et al., suggesting interpretation of our analytic results and providing additional statistical data regarding the timing of antihypertensive drug use. In addition, we have discussed the terms "nighttime" and "sleep-time" period used in previous researches in relation to ambulatory blood pressure.
