Summary

This INITIATE study evaluates the use of high-intensity interval training as a treatment modality for patients with intermittent claudication - an ambulatory leg pain caused by narrowed arteries that supply the lower limbs. It is an observational cohort study considering high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as a treatment for intermittent claudication, consisting of two workstreams. Workstream 1: an initial observational cohort study to consider the feasibility of the intervention and exclusion criteria. Workstream 2: a proof of concept study utilising the altered intervention and exclusion criteria following recommendations highlighted during workstream 1.

Eligibility Criteria

Workstream 1

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged >18 years
  • Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) 100 beats per minute [bpm]) and/or resting/uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >180 millimetres of mercury [mmHg] or diastolic blood pressure >100mmHg)
  • Symptomatic hypotension

Additional exclusion criteria:

Following baseline cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), patients will be withdrawn and prevented from continuing their involvement in the study if there is any evidence of:

  • Exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia or significant haemodynamic compromise (manifesting as anginal symptoms, significant ECG changes or an abnormal blood pressure response).
  • An inability to complete a maximal effort CPET

Workstream 2:

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged >18 years
  • ABPI 100bpm) and/or resting/uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >180mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >100mmHg)
  • Symptomatic hypotension

Additional exclusion criteria:

Following baseline CPET, patients will be withdrawn and prevented from continuing their involvement in the study if there is any evidence of:

● Exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia or significant haemodynamic compromise (manifesting as anginal symptoms, significant ECG changes or an abnormal blood pressure response).
