Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Although the practice of physical exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) is often encouraged, adherence is low. The difficulty in performing physical training may be related to the psychological characteristics of patients with claudication. To verify the association between anxiety and depression symptoms and barriers to physical exercise and walking capacity in patients with IC. METHODS: One-hundred and thirteen patients with a clinical d… Show more

“…In addition, comorbid depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk of PAD events [ 19 ], secondary cardiovascular events [ 22 ], major amputations [ 20 , 70 ] and mortality [ 13 ]. Finally, PAD patients with depressive symptoms are less willing to exercise [ 69 ] and more likely to have recurrent symptoms after revascularization [ 66 ], which may further aggravate PAD symptoms. Although the current indicate a single direction of effect, the relationship between depression and PAD outcomes has been hypothesized to be bi-directional in a mutually reinforcing cycle, meaning that PAD outcomes are thought to increase depression and vice versa [ 71 ].…”

“…The recommended level of physical activity and walking are significantly associated with a reduced risk of developing depression. Luciana et al [44] validated the relationship between anxiety and depression symptoms, physical exercise disorders, and walking ability in patients with intermittent claudication. They included 113 patients clinically diagnosed with intermittent claudication in the study.…”
