- Ankle–brachial pressure index - Wikipedia
The ABPI is the ratio of the highest ankle to brachial artery pressure An ABPI between and including 0 90 and 1 29 considered normal (free from significant PAD), while a lesser than 0 9 indicates arterial disease [17]

It has been shown to be a specific and sensitive metric for the diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Additionally, the ABI has been shown to predict mortality and adverse cardiovascular events independent of traditional CV risk factors
- Ankle-Brachial Index: Test What It Means - Cleveland Clinic
An ankle-brachial index (ABI) test is a quick, noninvasive way to know if you have peripheral artery disease (PAD) This test compares blood pressure in your arms versus your ankles If your ankle pressure is lower than your arm pressure, it means blood isn’t flowing as well in your legs and you likely have PAD
- ABPI measurement | Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index | OSCE Guide
The ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) is a non-invasive method of assessing peripheral arterial perfusion in the lower limbs ABPI is a ratio composed of the blood pressure of the upper arm (brachial artery) and the blood pressure of the lower limb (dorsalis pedis and the posterior tibial artery)
- Ankle-brachial index - Mayo Clinic
The ankle-brachial index test is a quick, simple way to check for peripheral artery disease (PAD) The disease happens when narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow to the arms or legs PAD can cause leg pain when walking PAD also raises the risk of heart attack and stroke
- Ankle Bracheal Index
Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) is a non-invasive test, which uses a hand-held Doppler or an automatic ABPI system to measure the arterial blood flow in the lower legs This is used to screen clients for the presence and severity of arterial compromise
- Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) Assessment
Step 6 Discuss the results of this test and their implica-tions with your patient Interpretation of the value of the ABPI is shown in Table 1
- ABPI Made Easy: A Simple Guide to Assessing Ankle-Brachial Pressure . . .
The Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) is a comparison of the blood pressure in your ankle to the blood pressure in your arm A healthy ABPI indicates good blood flow, while a low ABPI may suggest peripheral artery disease (PAD) or clogged arteries
