Effects of Exercise in the Functional Capacity, Central Artery and Rigidity Ankle Brachial Index

March 31, 2016 updated by: Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre

Effects of Combined Force Training Aerobic Versus Aerobic in the Functional Capacity, Central Artery and Rigidity Ankle Brachial Index in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease

The Peripheral Arterial Disease prevalence is around 3-10 % of the world population. Exercise plays an important role in treating these patients.
