Intermittent claudication [PDF]
Intermittent claudication is the most common symptom in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). As such, it is mandatory for clinicians to treat both the PAD-specific symptoms (to decrease functional impairment and thereby improve quality- of-life, as well as to decrease rates of amputation) and the underlying systemic atherosclerosis (and ...

Naftidrofuryl for intermittent claudication [PDF]
Lifestyle changes and cardiovascular prevention measures are a primary treatment for intermittent claudication (IC). Symptomatic treatment with vasoactive agents (Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical Classification (ATC) for medicines from the World Health Organisation class CO4A) is controversial.To evaluate evidence on the efficacy and safety of oral ...

Stages of health behavior change and factors associated with physical activity in patients with intermittent claudication [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To analyze, in people with intermittent claudication, the frequency of individuals who are in each of stages of health behavior change to practice physical activity, and analyze the association of these stages with the walking capacity ...

Effect of supervised exercise on physical function and balance in patients with intermittent claudication [PDF]
Background The aim of the study was to identify whether a standard supervised exercise programme (SEP) for patients with intermittent claudication improved specific measures of functional performance including balance. Methods A prospective observational

Silence of the limbs: pharmacological symptomatic treatment of intermittent claudication [PDF]
Several oral "vasoactive" drugs claim to increase walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). Naftidrofuryl, cilostazol, buflomedil, and pentoxifylline are the most studied molecules.
