Background—The associations of low (< 0.90) and high (> 1.40) ankle brachial index (ABI)
with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality have not been examined in …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the strength and consistency with which a low ankle brachial
pressure index (ABI), measured in the general population, is associated with an increased …

Background and aims Studies on high ankle-brachial index (ABI) to predict mortality risk
have yielded conflicting results. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of both a low and a
high ankle-brachial index (ABI) with incident cardiovascular events in a multiethnic cohort …

BACKGROUND: Low ankle–brachial index (ABI) is associated with increased risk of
subsequent cardiovascular disease events, independent of Framingham risk factors, but its …

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine if an ankle-brachial index (ABI)≥ 1.40
is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL). Background: Ankle-brachial index values≥ …

Objective—The ankle–brachial index is the ratio of the ankle and the brachial systolic blood
pressure and is used to assess individuals with peripheral arterial disease. An ankle …

Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate the risk factors for peripheral
arterial disease and the relationship between the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and mortality …

Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), defined by a low ankle-brachial index (ABI),
is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, but the risk of coronary heart …

Background An ankle-brachial index (ABI) of less than 0.9 is a noninvasive measure of
lower extremity arterial disease and a predictor of cardiovascular events. Little information is …
