ankle-brachial index test (abi) This test is a quick, reimbursable and nonin

vasive way to check for risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Those who suffer are at an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and leg pain.

Ankle-Brachial Index – The ABI compares blood pressure in the ankle to blo

od pressure in the arm. This test shows how well blood is flowing to limbs. An ABI can show whether Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is affecting the limbs, but it will not show which blood vessels are narrowed or blocked.

Ankle/Brachial Indices (ABI) Ultrasound Your doctor has requested an ultraso

und of your groin, arm and ankles to analyze the blood flow in your arteries. Ultrasound is a procedure that uses sound waves to "see" inside your body.

An ankle-brachial index of less than 0.4 suggests severe peripheral artery d

isease. Rigid arteries (more than 1.3). If your ankle-brachial index number is higher than 1.3, this may mean that your arteries are rigid and don’t compress when the blood pressure cuff is inflated.

The ankle-brachial index also offers information about general cardiovascula

r health. An analysis of studies including nearly 50,000 men and women show that a low index (under 0.90) doubled the chances of having a heart attack or stroke or dying of heart disease over a 10-year period.

An ankle-brachial index number is this range indicates that you have borderl

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) The ABI is a measurement of the blood pressure in

the lower leg compared to the blood pressure in the arm. Your physician will compare the two numbers to determine your ABI. Normally, the blood pressures in your ankle and arm should be about equal.

An ankle brachial index test, also known as an ABI test, is a procedure that

can test the blood pressure in your extremities. An abnormal reading may be an indication of peripheral artery disease.

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be diagnosed noninvasively

by segmental blood pressure measurement and calculating an ankle-brachial index (ABI) or toe-brachial index (TBI). The ABI is known to be unreliable in patients with vascular stiffness and fails to detect the early phase of arteriosclerotic development.

Segmental Pressure studies are performed using the same method as an Ankle B

rachial Index but incorporate additional pressure cuffs wrapped at various positions on the leg. Sites typically include the ankle, above and below the knee and the high thigh.

An ankle brachial index, or ABI, measures the ratio of the blood pressure in

the lower leg or ankle to the blood pressure in the arm. To measure someone’s ABI first have them lie down and rest for at least 10 minutes so their blood pressure can normalize.

Look at the ankle brachial index. If it is normal, and waveforms are not ter

ribly abnormal, the test is normal. The thigh pressures should be higher than the highest of brachial pressures. An upper thigh pressure that is lower than the higher brachial pressure denotes inflow disease on that side. A bilateral problem may point to aortic disease.
