• atherosclerotic lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD, see also section 2.1) falling within the following clinical stages: (1) asymptomatic lower limb PAD (Rutherford grade 0/Fontaine stage I); and (2) intermittent claudication (IC, Rutherford grade I–III/Fontaine stage IIa and IIb).
• exertional calf pain that does not begin at rest, does not resolve during walking activity, and resolves within 10 minutes of rest.
• For patients with intermittent claudication, a stepwise approach is recommended, providing risk factor management, best medical treatment, and exercise therapy as a first step, and revascularisation as a second step in compliant patients with continued disabling limb symptoms.
