Is asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease associated with more adverse lower extremity characteristics than intermittent claudication?
Persons with PAD who never experience exertional leg symptoms have poorer functional performance, poorer quality of life, and more adverse calf muscle characteristics compared with persons with intermittent claudication and a sedentary, asymptomatic, age-matched group of non-PAD persons.
Immediate post-shock chest compressions can substantially improve outcome from prolonged VF compared with simulated pre-hospital AED care.
