Treatment of claudication with pentoxifylline: Are benefits related to improvement in viscosity? Willard C. Johnson, M.D., Joanna M.

Fig. 2 Correlation of viscosity as determined by the Wells-Brookfield Viscometer and the filtration time of Porous Plug Viscometer. The regression line is y = 0.242 × 1.39. (r = 0.735; p = 0.01.)

Fig. 3 Changes in initial claudication distance (A) and absolute claudication distance (B) associated with pentoxifylline therapy. Improvement in viscosity was defined as none when the change was less than 0.25 cp, small if 0.25 to 1.00 cp, mild if 1.01 to 2.00 cp, and moderate if greater than 2.00 cp.

Fig. 4 Correlation between improved viscosity and improved absolute claudication distances: dark boxes represent a good correlation; gray boxes a fair correlation; and white boxes a poor correlation.
