What does this research mean for the field?

Smoking and the presence of multiple initial stenoses are significant risk factors for the progression of occlusive atherosclerotic disease, as indicated by decreasing ankle/arm blood pressure index, in non-operated patients with intermittent claudication.

Implication

May inform risk stratification by smoking and stenosis burden in claudication; leaves open need for interventional confirmation.

Population

93 non-operated non-diabetic patients with intermittent claudication

Outcome

Changes in the segmental blood pressures (BP) in the legs (ankle/arm BP index [ABI]) after five years of follow-upsurrogate
