Prognostic significance of rheological and biochemical findings in patients with intermittent claudication

J A Dormandy et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

To assess the prognostic significance of clinical and laboratory findings in intermittent claudication a group of 62 untreated patients was followed up in detail for periods of from one to three years. There was a significant correlation between progressive deterioration of the peripheral circulatory disturbance and the initial blood viscosity, the plasma fibrinogen level, and the susceptibility of red cell lipids to autoxidation.
