Patients 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...
متن کاملMuscle Oxygen content at exercise in patients with claudication.
TO THE EDITOR: We read with great interest the study by Dr. Luck et al. (4) in which the authors show that, when fatigued, patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) experience a greater reduction in muscle saturation (SmO2) than subjects matched for age, sex, and body mass index. The conclusion drawn from these observations (that PAD patients have altered oxygen uptake and/or utilization du...
متن کاملCalf raise exercise increases walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Symptoms of intermittent claudication (IC) are improved by exercise. The improvement might be secondary to increased blood perfusion or increased muscle mitochondrial capacity. Ischemia followed by reperfusion, also named preconditioning, is known to stimulate the mitochondria. We focused on a calf raise exercise inducing preconditioning in the calf muscle of patients with IC. We hyp...
متن کاملManagement of patients with intermittent claudication.
Intermittent claudication is a common manifestation of peripheral arterial disease, its symptoms have a gradual onset and the patient may not notice them initially, instead accepting them as part of the ageing process. The main concern with intermittent claudication is the increased risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. This article highlights the relationship between these diseases...
متن کاملMuscle Blood Flow in Normal Man and in Patients with Intermittent Claudication Evaluated by Simul - taneous
Intramuscular injection of a small amount of radioactive sodium (Na24) was used by Kety as an index of local blood flow in skeletal muscle (1, 2). The hydrophilic sodium ions are known to exchange fairly slowly over many biological membranes, in contrast to the lipophilic inert gases to which such membranes offer no diffusion barriers (3). Hence a radioactive inert gas such as xenon'33 is proba...
