Summary

Intermittent claudication afflicts 5% of the US population older than 55 years of age and develops along with hardening of the arteries of the legs. Claudicating patients limp and can only walk very short distances because their legs hurt. This protocol evaluates the mechanisms that may produce the leg dysfunction of claudication and its successful completion can ultimately produce significant new diagnostic and treatment strategies for the care of claudicating patients.
