Introduction: Cardiogenic arterial thromboembolism (CATE) is a life-threatening complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with a high mortality rate. As the primary responders in hemostasis, platelets play a crucial role in the progression of CATE. Procoagulant platelets are a subpopulation of activated platelets that facilitate thrombin generation to strengthen thrombus structure.

Objective: To assess the impact of clopidogrel or rivaroxaban administration on recurrence of arterial thromboembolism (ATE) in cats that have recovered from cardiogenic ATE.
Methods: This multicenter prospective double-masked protocol enrolled 45 cats that had recovered from cardiogenic ATE and were randomized to receive either clopidogrel (18.75 mg/cat, PO; n = 19) or rivaroxaban (2.

Background And Aim: Cardiogenic embolism (CE) is a common complication of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), leading to severe clinical symptoms. This study compared the effects of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin combined with clopidogrel on cats.
Materials And Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Background: Hypercoagulability has been documented in cats with cardiac disease. However, hemostatic parameters, including viscoelastic coagulation monitoring (VCM) have not been reported in cats with arterial thromboembolism (ATE).
Hypothesis/objectives: Compare VCM parameters in cats with acute cardiogenic ATE and in control cats.

Case Summary: A 7-month-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat was presented for respiratory distress due to cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Despite initial treatment and oxygen delivery in an oxygen tent, the cat still showed signs of severe respiratory effort and oxygen saturation measured via pulse oximetry was below 85%. Because the owners declined mechanical ventilation, the cat was transitioned to high-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT).
