Lower Mitochondrial Energy Production of the Thigh Muscles in Patients With Low‐Normal Ankle‐Brachial Index

Lower Mitochondrial Energy Production of the Thigh Muscles in Patients With Low‐Normal Ankle‐Brachial Index

BackgroundLower muscle mitochondrial energy production may contribute to impaired walking endurance in patients with peripheral arterial disease. A borderline ankle‐brachial index (ABI) of 0.91 to 1.10 is associated with poorer walking endurance compared with higher ABI. We hypothesized that in the...
