- Abstract
The article presents a study regarding intermittent claudication (IC). It cites the case of a 63-year-old man with pain in both legs and was treated with aspirin, hydrochlorothiazide, and simvastatin. It states that authors conducted a double-blind placebo-controlled trial that evaluates the effectiveness of ramipril for the improvement of maximum walk time (MWT). Moreover, the use of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE) requires monitoring of renal function and serum potassium.
