2016 AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Patients With Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease[1]
Recommendations for Structured Exercise Therapy in Patients with PAD
Class I |
"1. In patients with claudication, a supervised exercise program is recommended to improve functional status and QoL and to reduce leg symptoms.(Level of Evidence: A)" |
"2. A supervised exercise program should be discussed as a treatment option for claudication before possible revascularization.(Level of Evidence: B-R)" |
Class IIa |
"1.In patients with PAD, a structured community- or home-based exercise program with behavioral change techniques can be beneficial to improve walking ability and functional status.(Level of Evidence: A)" |
"2.In patients with claudication, alternative strategies of exercise therapy, including upper-body ergometry, cycling, and pain-free or low-intensity walking that avoids moderate-to-maximum claudication while walking, can be beneficial to improve walking ability and functional status.(Level of Evidence: A)" |

Supervised exercise program
Structured community- or home-based exercise program
