Ankle-Brachial Index and Arterial Stiffness, Modulate the Exertional Capacity of High-Frequency Training Athletes

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Ankle-brachial index and arterial stiffness are associated with leg function in the elderly and in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Little is known about the meaning of these parameters in young and trained subjects and how they are related to ...

The importance of community screening of asymptomatic elderly for peripheral arterial disease by Doppler ultrasound and ankle-brachial index

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2017
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is an atherosclerotic disease characterized by an increase in morbidity and mortality. For these reasons early diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease is important.

Oscillometric measurement of the ankle-brachial index [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2008
Peripheral arterial disease is a coronary risk equivalent; a low ankle-brachial index (ABI) is indicative of systemic vascular disease, and should place a patient in the high-risk category. Few physicians measure ABI because it is technically challenging and time consuming.

Mean and variability of annual haemoglobin A1c are associated with high-risk peripheral artery disease

Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research, 2020
Background: Glucose variability is predictive of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. However, the association between peripheral artery disease and glucose variability has not been thoroughly investigated.

Comparative study of pressure (ankle-brachial pressure index) and flow (strain gauge plethysmography and reactive hyperaemia) measurements in diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundThe measurement of the ankle-brachial pressure index is a straightforward method for the detection of peripheral disease in the lower limbs. Only a few old studies with small numbers of patients have been conducted comparing the gold standard ...

Differential associations of ankle and brachial blood pressures with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases: cross-sectional study

Scientific Reports, 2021
Increased brachial systolic blood-pressure (BP) predicts diabetes (T2DM) but is not fully effective. Value of absolute ankle systolic BP for T2DM compared to brachial systolic BP is not known.

Critical Review of the Ankle Brachial Index [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2008
Ankle brachial index (ABI) has been utilized in the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).ABI is a surrogate marker of atherosclerosis and recent studies indicate its utility as a predictor of future cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Even so, this critical test is underutilized.
