Ankle – Brachial Index – Why measure ABI? The ABI is an indicator of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), a cardiovascular disease with a high mortality rate. Unfortunately, the ABI is not measured routinely because its traditional measuring with Doppler ultrasound is long and complex.
Early PAD detection is vital for these reasons: *70% of patients with PAD do not have typical symptoms and are not diagnosed ,*1/3 of asymptomatic patients have masked PAD *230mio Adult people affected globally. *13% adult people affected globally.
