Question

Which clinical sign is most directly explained by reduced tissue perfusion due to advanced atherosclerotic narrowing in peripheral arteries?

Accepted Answer

Intermittent claudication (exercise‑induced calf pain) because reduced arterial lumen limits blood flow during increased demand.

Answer

Frequent epistaxis (nosebleeds) because atherosclerotic narrowing increases nasal mucosa perfusion.

Answer

Increased hair growth on the legs due to improved perfusion from narrowed arteries.

Answer

Sudden improvement in exercise tolerance because plaques act as metabolic boosters for muscles.
