Abstract
INTERMITTENT claudication is most frequently caused by atherosclerotic narrowing of the iliac and femoral arteries, often in combination with similar lesions in at least 1 of the more distal arteries of the leg. It is the symptomatic expression of inability of the blood flow to supply the oxygen required by leg musculature during exercise.This publication has 58 references indexed in Scilit:
