Study Summary

The overarching question addressed in the current project is: Does dietary nitrate supplementation (8 weeks) improve physiological function in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD)? The investigators will specifically address whether dietary nitrate supplementation enhances blood vessel function, blood pressure regulation, and exercise capacity. The proposed project uses an array of clearly defined measurements which will allow investigators to quantify blood vessel function (vasodilator responsiveness and arterial stiffness), blood pressure (variability and responsiveness to stress), and functional capacity before and after 8 weeks of dietary supplementation.

Primary Outcome

Forearm and calf blood flow will be measured independently by venous occlusion plethysmography using mercury-in-silastic strain gauges. Plethysmographic measurements will be made at rest and following 5 minutes of ischemia (reactive hyperemia) of the distal limb (forearm and calf). Peak blood flow will be determined as the highest flow recorded during the post deflation period. Total blood flow will be measured as the area under the time-curve after resting flow is subtracted.
