High blood pressure High cholesterol Your doctor may suggest the test if you have a number of these risk factors or show other signs of PAD. What Happens During an Ankle-Brachial Test? The test takes 10 to 15 minutes. First, you lie down on a table. Your doctor wraps a cuff around yo...
PAD causes decreased blood flow in the legs and can be a sign of overall cardiovascular disease, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. The ankle test, which compares blood pressure at the ankle with blood pressure in the arm, is used to diagnosed PAD. The task force reviewed...
The ankle-arm blood pressure index (AAI, ratio of ankle to arm systolic blood pressure), a simple, noninvasive, and inexpensive screening test, has recently been found to be highly predictive of subsequent mortality in several populations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationsh...
AABPI, calculated as the ratio of systolic ankle/systolic arm blood pressure, has been recently found to be a strong predictor of cardiovascular and overall mortality in hemodialysis patients. The aim of our study was to confirm the role of this test in dialysis patients, a population with hig...
The standard noninvasive test to assess the severity of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is the ankle/brachial systolic blood pressure index (ABI). While ankle systolic blood pressure is obtained by the Doppler ultrasound technique, brachial systolic blood pressure can be obtained by the...

The test is performed using a small blood pressure cuff that is fitted around a toe along with a photoplethysmograph (PPG) infrared light sensor. The resultant toe brachial index (TBI) is generated using the systolic blood pressure readings from the arm and toe....
A novel blood pressure-independent arterial wall stiffness parameter; cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). To measure the stiffness of the aorta, femoral artery and tibial artery noninvasively, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) which is independent of blood pre... K Shirai,J Utino,K Otsuka,....
The Ankle-brachial index (ABI) test involves the following steps: The blood pressure cuff is placed on both the arms and ankles. A healthcare professional listens for blood flow sounds (pulses) at specific arteries in the arms and ankles using a handheld Doppler device. ...
