PAD is characterized by impaired blood flow to the lower extremities, causing claudication and exercise intolerance. The mechanism(s) by which exercise training improves functional capacity is not understood. This study tested the hypothesis that in peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients who undergo supervised exercise training, increases in capillary density (CD) in calf muscle take place before improvements in peak oxygen uptake (VO2). 35 PAD patients were randomized to 12 weeks of directly-supervised or home–based exercise training. Peak VO2 testing and gastrocnemius muscle biopsies were performed at baseline and after training. Capillary density (endothelial cells/mm2) was measured using immunofluorescence staining. After 3 weeks of directly-supervised training, patients had an increase in CD (216±66 vs 284±77, p<0.01) but no increase in peak VO2. However after 12 weeks, peak VO2 increased (15.3±2.8 vs 16.8±3.8, p<0.01), while in muscle CD remained increased over baseline but there were no changes in markers of oxidative capacity. Within subjects, CD was related to peak VO2 before and after directly-supervised training. Changes in capillary density in ischemic muscle with training may modulate the response to training and those changes precede the increase in VO2.
