Final answer:
Clopidogrel is indicated for reducing myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular death in patients with artherosclerosis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is a. Reduction of myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular death in patients with artherosclerosis.
Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet therapy medication that helps prevent clotting in patients who have had a heart attack, unstable angina, ischemic strokes, TIA (transient ischemic attacks, or 'little strokes'), and other forms of cardiovascular disease. It is usually prescribed preventively when plaque buildup is evident but there is not yet a major obstruction in the artery.
An example of dual antiplatelet therapy is combining aspirin with clopidogrel for increased efficacy in reducing cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes such as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
