The management of intermittent claudication.
Intermittent claudication is a common symptom. It is a marker of generalised antherosclerotic disease and may herald other cardiovascular catastrophes. The aim of management is to reduce the total cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The functional status and quality of life of severely affected patients can be improved by endovascular and surgical interventions.
