Ankle Brachial Index Combined with Framingham Risk Score to Predict Cardiovascular Events
and Mortality: A Meta-analysis - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM Logo Access …

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

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 The ankle brachial index (ABI) is related to risk of cardiovascular events
independent of the Framingham risk score (FRS). The aim of this study was to develop and …

Background—An ankle-brachial index (ABI; ratio of ankle and brachial systolic blood
pressure)< 0.9 indicates peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and is a strong predictor of …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the predictive value of the ankle brachial index (ABI) and carotid
intima media thickness (IMT) for cardiovascular events. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING …

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 …

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