Abstract
A 63-year-old hypertensive heavy smoker presented in 1990 with a 24-month history of pain in the left calf and thigh occurring after walking 200 m at a “normal” pace. During the last 3 months, his claudication decreased to 100 m following the introduction of a beta-blocker antihypertensive drug. Pain ceased almost immediately after stopping walking and appeared again after the same stereotyped interval. There was no sexual dysfunction. Systemic enquiry was unremarkable.
