Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Claudication is a condition in which there is pain and cramping in the legs due to inadequate blood supply to the muscles. It is commonly caused by narrowing of the arteries in the legs, not a clot. Ulceration and turbulent blood flow may be associated with other vascular conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or arterial aneurysms, but not specifically with claudication.
