Fate in intermittent claudication: outcome and risk factors.
The fate of 257 consecutive patients (100 women) aged 36-85 years (mean 65) first seen with intermittent claudication in 1977 was analysed after a mean of 6.5 (SD 0.5) years. When first seen none of the patients complained of rest pain or had ulcers or gangrenous lesions on the feet. At follow up 113 of the patients (44%) had died. Causes of death were no different from those in the general pop...

OBJECTIVE To derive formulae to predict the likely 12-month health-related quality of life outcome following different treatments for intermittent claudication (IC). DESIGN A prospective, randomized, controlled study. MATERIALS One hundred and seventy-one unselected patients with stable IC were sequentially randomized to invasive therapy, supervised physical training or observation. Hierarc...
متن کاملIntermittent claudication: prevalence and risk factors.
Risk factors for intermittent claudication (IC) were studied in 54 patients--that is, all patients with IC on the lists of two general practices--and 108 controls. Smoking was the factor most strongly associated with the development of IC, but systolic and diastolic blood pressures and concentrations of triglyceride, urate, and fibrinogen were all significantly higher among the patients with IC...
متن کاملIntermittent claudication
Peripheral arterial disease is a common health problem that globally affects over 200 million individuals, and intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common symptomatic presentation. The leg symptoms in IC are provoked by walking exercise and can be alleviated by medical intervention, exercise training and invasive vascular interventions (revascularization). The quality of evidence for inva...
متن کاملPatients with Intermittent Claudication
Increased blood viscosity has been shown to be an important factor in reducing blood flow in a review and analysis of the history, clinical findings, and haemodynamic, rheological, radiological, and biochemical measurements in 126 patients with intermittent claudication. In some patients increased viscosity seemed to be the determining cause of claudication. A raised plasma fibrinogen was the m...
