Chronopharmacology-Driven Precision Therapies for Time-Optimized Cardiometabolic Disease Management
Cardiometabolic diseases, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity, along with their cardiovascular complications, remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing significant public health, economic, and societal burdens. Conventional pharmacological therapies often show limited efficacy and increased adverse effects because they do not account for the body's intrinsic circadian rhythms, which regulate organ function, drug absorption, and metabolism. Chronopharmacology, which aligns treatment timing with these biological rhythms, offers a strategy to enhance therapeutic outcomes. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of chronopharmacology principles applied to cardiometabolic disease management, integrating molecular, physiological, and clinical perspectives. It examines how core clock genes and tissue-specific circadian patterns influence drug action and absorption and summarizes evidence-based time-optimized interventions for hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, and multimorbid patients. Furthermore, the review highlights emerging innovations, including artificial intelligence-guided dosing, circadian-biomarker-informed therapy selection, and wearable digital devices for real-time monitoring of biological rhythms. By synthesizing mechanistic and clinical insights, circadian-aligned treatment strategies are shown to improve drug efficacy, reduce adverse effects, and support the development of precision, rhythm-based therapeutics, offering a practical framework for personalized cardiometabolic disease care.
