Twenty-five patients were enrolled, but six were
discontinued from the study. Four treated subjects
were discontinued: three for noncompliance with the
exercise training sessions and one for the development
of medical problems unrelated to PAD. Two
control subjects were discontinued: one for medical problems not due to PAD and the second for progression of arterial disease, as previously defined.
Nineteen subjects completed the study, 10 in the
treated group and nine in the control group.
