Intermittent claudication, also known as vascular claudication, is a symptom that describes muscle pain on mild exertion (ache, cramp, numbness or sense of fatigue), [1] classically in the calf muscle, which occurs during exercise, such as walking, and is relieved by a short period of rest.
Exercise and prolonged walking often become difficult and are triggers of pain, tiredness, numbness and heaviness in the legs, lower back and hips. [13] Common tasks such as standing upright for an extended duration or picking up heavy objects may become increasingly difficult to perform.
Claudication is a medical term usually referring to impairment in walking, or pain, discomfort, numbness, or tiredness in the legs that occurs during walking or standing and is relieved by rest. [1] The perceived level of pain from claudication can be mild to extremely severe.
Peripheral veinous disease, on the other hand, refers to problems with veins—the vessels that bring the blood back to the heart. [18] The classic symptom is leg pain when walking, which resolves with rest and is known as intermittent claudication. [2]
The latter two conditions are jointly referred to as tissue loss, reflecting the development of surface damage to the limb tissue due to the most severe stage of ischemia. Compared to the other manifestation of PAD, intermittent claudication , CLI has a negative prognosis within a year after the initial diagnosis, with 1-year amputation rates ...
The symptoms are caused by ischemia of the tissues. Intermittent claudication is manifested by pain, (cramping), numbness, and fatigue in the muscles on exercise. These symptoms are relieved by rest. There may be “rest pain” at night when in bed. Also increased sensitivity to cold, muscular weakness, stiffness of the joints, and paresthesia .
Based on a systemic review by Sinha et al, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the most common imaging used for PAES diagnosis, followed by ankle–brachial index (18 percent), computed tomography angiography (CTA) (12 percent), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) (12 percent), duplex ultrasonography (DU) (10 percent), exercise ankle ...
Recurrent or episodic rhabdomyolysis is commonly due to intrinsic muscle enzyme deficiencies, which are usually inherited and often appear during childhood. [10] [13] Many structural muscle diseases feature episodes of rhabdomyolysis that are triggered by exercise, general anesthesia or any of the other causes of rhabdomyolysis listed above. [10]
