Brief Summary: Context Soluble CD40 ligand sCD40L released from activated platelets induces inflammatory transformation of the vascular endothelium and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events Arterial hypertension is associated with platelet activation increased sCD40L levels and endothelial dysfunction suggesting that inhibition of platelet-derived sCD40L release may improve endothelial function and lower blood pressure BP

Objective To determine the effects of clopidogrel on sCD40L endothelial function and BP

Design Randomized controlled investigator-blinded parallel-group 2-phase trial in patients with coronary artery disease and essential arterial hypertension and those without hypertension

Intervention Participants receive a single 600-mg clopidogrel loading dose phase I followed by a daily 75-mg clopidogrel maintenance dose over 28 days phase II

Outcome Measures Primary outcome measure is the change in BP from baseline Secondary outcome measures are changes in biomarkers of platelet and endothelial function and their correlation with BP
