Impact of acebutolol on claudications, Doppler data and quality of life in patients with peripheral arterial obstructive disease

Beta-blockers are not widely recommended in patients with peripheral artery disease although many patients could possibly benefit from beta-blocker use because of concomitant diseases. The aim of the study was to determine whether or not acebutolol therapy would deteriorate claudications, Doppler data, and quality of life in patients with peripheral artery disease. None of the above parameters was significantly deteriorated by acebutolol compared to placebo in 21 patients.
