Effect of exercise training on clot strength in patients with peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication: An ancillary study

Abstract: Objectives:Patients with peripheral artery disease have walking impairment, greater thrombotic risk, and are often treated with exercise training. We sought to determine the effect of a 3-month-long exercise program on clot strength among patients with peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication.Methods:Twenty-three symptomatic peripheral artery disease patients were randomly assigned to a walking exercise program or to an attention control group who performed light resistance exercise. We investig… Show more

“…LY30 is a measure of thrombolysis within 30 minutes of thrombosis and is used to evaluate fibrinolytic activity. Decreased LY30 indicates decreased fibrinolytic activity and increased clot stability, which may lead to a greater tendency for the blood to form a persistent thrombus (49). Any factor that affects blood circulation in the uterus may increase the risk of pregnancy loss since adequate blood supply is required for embryo implantation and early development (50).…”

“…Despite these post-exertion changes in fibrinolysis, exercise does not impact clot strength and clot formation time in claudicants. 28 As mentioned above, the small number of studies, the small number of subjects within studies, and the different modalities and regime of exercise present some of the limitations of this review. It is rather impossible to categorize the mentioned studies into groups with same exercise regimes and reach safe conclusions on how exercise of given intensity and type affects fibrinolysis and coagulation.…”

“…Mauer et al showed that 12-week walking exercise program improves ambulatory function without influencing clot formation in patients with klaudicoperipheral peripheral vascular disease. 29 Re-ambulation period after prolonged immobilization may also be a risk for thrombotic events. 30 Obesity is associated with an increase in thromboembolic events.…”
