Critical Review of the Ankle Brachial Index [PDF]
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.

Context Prediction models to identify healthy individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease have limited accuracy. A low ankle brachial index is an indicator of atherosclerosis and has the potential to improve prediction.

Ankle–Brachial Index and Cardiovascular Outcome [PDF]
We read the article ‘‘The Ankle-Brachial Index is Associated With Cardiovascular Complications After Noncardiac Surgery’’ by Carmo et al with interest. They evaluated the role of ankle–brachial index (ABI) as a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) complications in patients with and without an abnormal ABI submitted to noncardiac surgery.

Levels of ankle–brachial index and the risk of diabetes mellitus complications
Objective We sought to compare the association of categorized ankle–brachial index (ABI) with mortality and complications of diabetes in persons with no symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and in primary cardiovascular disease prevention ...

Ankle-Brachial Index and Peripheral Arterial Disease [PDF]
Patients with peripheral arterial disease including those with intermittent claudication have a high risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. The outcome of patients with intermittent claudication is less limited by local complications in the leg than by the systemic complications of coronary and cerebral vessels. About 30 %
