Abstract

Patients with claudication have a marked impairment in exercise performance. Several factors contribute to this limitation, including reductions in large vessel blood flow and oxygen delivery as well as metabolic abnormalities in skeletal muscle. The relative contribution of these factors and their role in the pathophysiology of the exercise limitation is discussed using a point-counterpoint approach. Future directions for research conclude the discussion.
