Can a heart pill help you walk longer without pain?

This study tested whether ramipril, a common blood pressure medicine, can improve walking distance in people with intermittent claudication (leg pain due to narrowed arteries). Researchers planned to enroll 78 adults with stable leg pain, giving half ramipril and half a placebo. They measured maximum walking distance on a treadmill, along with artery function and quality of life. The study is complete, but results are not yet reported.
