Intermittent claudication most commonly manifests in men older than 50 years. [citation needed] One in five of the middle-aged (65–75 years) population of the United Kingdom have evidence of peripheral arterial disease on clinical examination, although only a quarter of them have symptoms.
Claudication that appears after a short amount of walking may sometimes be described by US medical professionals by the number of typical city street blocks that the patient can walk before the onset of claudication.

In 1879, the syndrome was first described in a 64 years old male by Anderson Stuart, a medical student. [1] In 1959, Hamming and Vink first described the management of the PAES in a 12-year-old patient. The patient was treated with myotomy of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle and concomitant endarterectomy of the popliteal artery ...

In addition, the aortomesenteric distance is 2–8 millimeters, as opposed to the typical 10–20. [1] However, a narrow SMA angle alone is not enough to make a diagnosis, because patients with a low BMI, most notably children, have been known to have a narrow SMA angle with no symptoms of SMA syndrome.
