The purpose was to compare calf muscle hemoglobin oxygen saturation and exercise performance in hypercholesterolemic and normocholesterolemic patients with peripheral arterial disease. Hypercholesterolemic and normocholesterolemic patients had similar ankle/ brachial index (0.72 +/- 0.24 vs 0.79 +/- 0.28, [mean +/- SD]; P = .334). Hypercholesterolemic patients had shorter initial claudication distance (214 +/- 168 m vs 331 +/- 185 m, P = .026), absolute claudication distance (391 +/- 219 m vs 549 +/- 211 m, P = .035), and lower calf muscle hemoglobin oxygen saturation at the occurrence of initial claudication distance (27 +/- 21% vs 39 +/- 20%; P = .013), and absolute claudication distance (26 +/- 21% vs 36 +/- 21%; P = .021). Hypercholesterolemia is associated with shorter walking distances and calf muscle hemoglobin oxygen saturation during exercise in patients limited by intermittent claudication.
