This study assessed the relationship between lower limb hemodynamics and metabolic parameters with walking tolerance in patients with intermittent claudication (IC).
Resting ankle-brachial index (ABI), baseline blood flow (BF), BF response to reactive hyperemia (BFRH), oxygen uptake (VO2), initial claudication distance (ICD) and total walking distance (TWD) were measured in 28 IC patients. Pearson and Spearman correlations were calculated.
ABI, baseline BF and BF response to RH did not correlate with ICD or TWD. VO2 at first ventilatory threshold and VO2peak were significantly and positively correlated with ICD (r = 0.41 and 0.54, respectively) and TWD (r = 0.65 and 0.71, respectively).
VO2peak and VO2 at first ventilatory threshold, but not ABI, baseline BF and BFHR were associated with walking tolerance in IC patients. These results suggest that VO2 at first ventilatory threshold may be useful to evaluate walking tolerance and improvements in IC patients.
本研究评估间歇性跛行(IC)患者下肢血流动力学和代谢参数与步行耐力之间的关系。
对28例IC患者测量静息踝肱指数(ABI)、基线血流(BF)、充血反应性充血时的BF反应(BFRH)、摄氧量(VO2)、初始跛行距离(ICD)和总步行距离(TWD)。计算Pearson和Spearman相关性。
ABI、基线BF和对RH的BF反应与ICD或TWD均无相关性。第一通气阈值时的VO2和VO2峰值与ICD(分别为r = 0.41和0.54)和TWD(分别为r = 0.65和0.71)显著正相关。
VO2峰值和第一通气阈值时的VO2与IC患者的步行耐力相关,而ABI、基线BF和BFHR则不然。这些结果表明,第一通气阈值时的VO2可能有助于评估IC患者的步行耐力及改善情况。
