Background Supra‐normal ankle brachial index (ABI)(> 1.40), poses diagnostic challenges
to determine the presence, location, and severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence and clinical significance of elevated ankle-brachial
index (ABI) in patients referred to vascular consultation. DESIGN: Retrospective clinical …

Ankle-brachial index (ABI) is conventionally derived as the ratio of higher of the 2 systolic
ankle blood pressures to the higher brachial pressure (HABI method). Alternatively, ABI may …

Background and aims Classically, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is diagnosed by a low
ankle-brachial index (ABI), but the diagnosis can also be made based on toe-brachial index …

Background The ankle-brachial index (ABI) may underestimate the severity of peripheral
arterial disease (PAD) in patients with noncompressible vessels. This study analyzed …

Background The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a useful screening tool for the detection of
peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Using ABI measurements, patients can be stratified into …

Background In a previous review, we reported that ankle brachial index (ABI)≤ 0.90 could
reliably identify patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Since then, more studies have …

Background To investigate the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) via the ankle
brachial index (ABI) in patients with known cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular diseases …

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disease that is diagnosed with
a screening test called the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI). Different methods of ABI have been …

Background The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the sensitivity,
specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+, LR-) of the ankle-brachial index …
