Question 1

Secondary prevention of cardiogenic arterial thromboembolism in the cat: the double-blind, randomized, positive-contrlled feline arterial thromboemboillsm; clopidogrel vs. aspirin trial (FAT CAT). Journal of Veterinary Cardiology (2015) 17, s306-2317.

Answer 1

P- 75 cats who survived CATE event

I- 18.75mg PO q24hr clopidegrel vs 81mg PO q72hr aspirin

C- no control, because a placebo would have been unethical

O - clopidegrel significanly reduces the likelihood of recurrent CATE (and composite endpoint of cardiac death) compared with aspirin in cats. Both drugs were tolerated well

CATE = cardiogenic arterial thromboembolism
