Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • peripheral arterial disease patients with and without IC

You may not qualify if:

  • Below or above-knee amputation
  • Wheelchair confinement
  • Inability to walk on a treadmill or inability to perform progressive resistance training
  • Inability to return to the medical center three times weekly for 6 months
  • Walking impairment due to a cause other than PAD
  • Class II New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart failure or angina (heart failure or angina occurring at rest or with minimal exertion)
  • Planned lower extremity revascularization or any other major surgery within 12 months
  • Any increase in anginal symptoms during the previous 6 months or angina at rest
  • Subjects with silent coronary ischemia, defined as ST segment depression greater than or equal to 1 mm during baseline exercise treadmill test without associated chest discomfort, unless they have had a normal perfusion stress test during the previous 6 months
  • Subjects with left-bundle branch block or significant ST-T wave changes on their baseline ECG who do not have a perfusion stress test demonstrating absence of reversible ischemia within the previous 6 months
  • Lower extremity revascularization, major orthopedic surgery, or other major surgery during the previous 3 months
  • Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting during the previous 3 months
  • Major medical illnesses that may interfere with subject's ability to complete the interventions and/or follow-up testing
  • Current foot ulcer
  • ABI greater than 0.95
  • +7 more criteria
