Home-based Exercise Therapy for Patients With PAD
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)Intermittent ClaudicationCardiovascular disease represents a considerable economic burden to society and effective preventive measures are necessary. Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have a severe impairment of functional ability, namely in walking distance due to muscle ischemia defined as intermittent claudication (IC). The discomfort related to IC contributes to a sedentary lifestyle, decreasing physical fitness level, aggravating cardiovascular risk factors leading to disease deterioration. Exercise programs are an effective, low-cost, low-risk option compared with more invasive therapies for IC. Home-based exercise therapy (HBET) is structured, unsupervised, self-directed programs that take place in the personal setting of the patient rather than in a clinical setting. HBET program implementation is feasible and eliminates barriers such as transportation issues, proximity to clinics, and conflicts with occupational responsibilities. Even though these programs have shown to be effective at improving walking performance and distance, their results fall below those seen in Supervised Exercise Therapy (SET) programs. Thus, innovative home-based walking programs need to be developed in order to improve results and make exercise therapy available to a larger percentage of the population. The use of Information and communication technology (ICT) tools for self-monitoring is considered key to change long-term behavior. The WalkingPAD project aims to develop health technology assessment methods and evaluate personal health intervention strategies. Investigators intend to demonstrate the technical feasibility and economic viability of a personalized medicine application in real-life healthcare settings. This project intends to find evidence for three major questions: Does an M-health monitored home-based exercise program supported by a virtual assistant empowers commitment to exercise plan and allows remote control of plan accomplishment? Is it superior to an M-health monitored home-based exercise program supported by a behavioral motivational intervention, in increasing maximum walking distance? Is it superior to a self-monitoring exercise, with a specific self-designed walking plan in the residence area, in increasing maximum walking distance?

BEETroot Juice to Reverse Functional Impairment in PAD
Peripheral Artery DiseaseThe BEET PAD Trial is a multi-centered double-blind randomized clinical trial designed to determine whether beetroot juice, compared to placebo, improves six-minute walk distance at four month follow-up in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). Investigators hypothesize that by simultaneously increasing lower extremity perfusion, gastrocnemius muscle mitochondrial activity, and myofiber health and regeneration, beetroot juice will significantly improve walking performance in people with PAD. The primary aim is to determine whether beetroot juice significantly improves six-minute walk distance at 4-month follow-up in people with PAD, compared to placebo. Preliminary evidence suggests that beetroot juice has both acute and chronic effects on walking performance in PAD. The primary outcome will measure the combined acute and chronic effect of beetroot juice (i.e. the maximal effect) on change in 6-minute walk at 4-month follow-up. In secondary aims, investigators will distinguish between acute and chronic effects of beetroot juice on six-minute walk and delineate biologic pathways by which beetroot juice improves walking performance in PAD, by measuring change in gastrocnemius muscle perfusion (MRI arterial spin labeling) and gastrocnemius muscle health. The trial will assess the durability of beetroot juice effects on six-minute walk. Nitrate in beetroot juice is metabolized to nitrite and subsequently to NO, attaining peak nitrite levels 2.5 hours after ingestion. The trial will determine whether a higher peak or a greater increase in plasma nitrite at 2.5 hours after beetroot juice consumption at baseline has a greater effect on six-minute walk at 4-month follow-up, compared to a lower peak or a smaller increase, respectively.

Remote Monitoring of Home Exercise in Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral Arterial DiseaseMany patients with blockages in the arteries in their legs (peripheral arterial disease, "PAD") suffer from pain in their legs when walking. Exercise therapy is known to decrease pain levels as well as increase the distance that patients with PAD can walk. The purpose of this study is to understand whether home exercise using a digital exercise monitoring system (LIVMOR) with provider supervision/ feedback will improve walking distance compared to those undergoing home exercise using the same monitoring system but without provider supervision/ feedback.

Moderate Intensity Functional Training as Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With Peripheral Arterial...
Peripheral Arterial DiseaseIntermittent ClaudicationTraditional aerobic training and muscle resistance ('strength') training have been shown to be effective for improving functional and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, the transfer of the current resistance exercise modes proposed to other activities of daily living (ADLs) is questionable. Moderate intensity functional training (MIFT) has emerged with the aim of achieving cardiovascular and neuromuscular adaptations simultaneously with functional exercises typical of ADLs. The effect of MIFT in patients with PAD is not yet known. Our purpose is to verify the influence of the combination of intermittent treadmill walking exercise with MIFT compared with intermittent treadmill walking exercise on functional capacity, HRQoL, biochemical and hemodynamic parameters in patients with PAD.
