This Supervised Exercise Therapy for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Program allows cardiac rehabilitation professionals to assist in the care of people affected by intermittent claudication resulting from peripheral artery disease. National guidelines stress the importance of supervised exercise to improve functional capacity, decrease symptoms, and achieve systemic risk reduction benefits. It allows community members affected by these conditions to take healthy steps toward controlling their PAD.
