In 25 RA patients, DAS28-CRP improved from 5.4\u00b11.1 to 3.5\u00b10.8 ( P &amp;lt; 0.0001) and the nocturnal fall in BP increased significantly from 4.5\u00b19.2% to 10.6\u00b15.8% ( P = 0.002) with the significant decrease of nighttime systolic BP (SBP) from 121.2\u00b122.5mm Hg to 112.5\u00b118.8mm Hg ( P = 0.02) in spite of no change in daytime BP after 4 weeks of RA
