Summary

This trial is testing whether adding supervised exercise to usual care can help improve quality of life and cardiovascular risk for Veterans with PAD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) who experience leg pain during exercise that goes away with rest. They must have a confirmed PAD diagnosis, be able to walk without a walker or wheelchair, and not be part of another exercise program. They need cellular signal access at home or where they'll exercise.
What is being tested?
The study tests if supervised telehealth exercise can improve walking ability, quality of life, and heart health in Veterans with PAD. Participants will do exercises while being remotely monitored to see if this method is effective.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and discomfort related to increased physical activity. However, these are common reactions to starting an exercise regimen.
