What are the 3 types of chronic occlusive disease
1) claudication
2) ischemic rest pain
3) tissue loss
What type of chronic occlusive disease results when there is pain in muscles usually occurring during exercise subsidding with rest
Claudication
This type of chronic occlusive disease results from inadequate blood supply to muscle
Claudication
Pseudo-claudication mimics _______ symptoms but is neurogenic or orthopedic in origin
Vascular
This type of chronic occlusive disease is a more severe symptom of diminished blood flow and occurs when a limb is not dependent
Ischemic rest pain
What type of chronic occlusive disease results from necrosis or death of tissue and is due to deficient or absent blood supply
Tissue loss
