Exercise: the best therapy for intermittent claudication?

E Ernst. Br J Hosp Med. 1992.

Abstract

The prophylactic value of physical activity for arteriosclerotic diseases is generally accepted. Regular exercise is also the most effective therapy for intermittent claudication although drug treatment is more popular in general practice. Recent findings show that exercise and drug treatments complement each other.
