Why the study?
Does repetitive symptom-limited exercise improve the fibrinolytic profile in patients with peripheral arterial disease?
Population
9 patients (8 male, 1 female) with Fontaine Stage II peripheral arterial disease
Comparison
Repetitive bouts of symptom-limited exercise vs Baseline (pre-exercise)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
60 minutes post-exercise

Symptom-limited exercise was associated with improved fibrinolysis in PAD; leaves open whether repetitive training alters clinical events.
Does repetitive symptom-limited exercise improve the fibrinolytic profile in patients with peripheral arterial disease?
Repetitive bouts of symptom-limited exercise produce a substantial improvement in the fibrinolytic profile of PAD patients, persisting for at least 1 hour post-exercise.
Womack et al. (2001) studied this question.
