Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in mean fluorescence intensity of PAC-1

Secondary Outcome Measures
Change in CD62P expression
Change in platelet expression of CD62P (p-selectin) in response to CTD, HCTZ, and ASA.
Change in platelet aggregation
Change in platelet aggregation measured by flow cytometry in response to CTD, HCTZ, and ASA

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This will be a randomized, double-blinded, three-period crossover study of platelet activation and aggregation in 30 non-smoking healthy volunteers comparing chlorthalidone (CTD), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), and aspirin (ASA; active control). The study hypothesis is that CTD has different effects on platelet activation and aggregation than HCTZ.
