Predictors of treatment outcome in intermittent claudication.
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: an objective office-based assessment.
OBJECTIVES We sought to compare standard lower extremity vascular laboratory treadmill exercise with the office-based active pedal plantarflexion technique. BACKGROUND Intermittent claudication is relatively common in elderly patients and is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive testing using resting and posttreadmill exercise ankle:brachial systolic bl...
متن کاملPentoxifylline for intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Intermittent claudication (IC) is a symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Pentoxifylline, one of many drugs used to treat IC, acts by decreasing blood viscosity, improving erythrocyte flexibility and promoting microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen concentration. Many studies have evaluated the efficacy of pentoxifylline in...
متن کاملBuflomedil for intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Intermittent claudication (IC) is pain caused by chronic occlusive arterial disease, that develops in a limb during exercise and is relieved with rest. Buflomedil is a vasoactive agent used to treat peripheral vascular disease. However, its clinical efficacy for IC has not yet been critically examined. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2000, and previously upd...
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...
