The success of this measurement derives from its easy execution, limited instrumentation needs, low cost, and early ...

The Ankle Brachial Index

2010
The ankle brachial index (ABI) is defined as the ratio of systolic blood pressures in the ankles to that in the arms. The arteries typically interrogated for calculating the ABI include the brachial arteries in the arms and the posterior tibial and/or dorsalis pedis arteries in the legs.

Ankle-brachial index in chronic kidney disease

Vasa, 2012
Peripheral arterial disease is highly prevalent and the presence of peripheral arterial disease is a predictor of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death [3, 9]. Importantly, while only a minority of peripheral arterial disease patients present typical symptoms like intermittent claudication, ulcers or rest ...
