Claudication, which literally means “to limp', is one of the symptoms of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD), but can also occur in patients who have other vascular problems (eg, aneurysm).
Intermittent claudication is caused by arterial insufficiency (inadequate blood supply), primarily due to atherosclerosis.
