4. 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.
