ABI (Ankle Brachial Index)

The systolic blood pressure values of a person's arm and
leg need to be measured In order to determine ABI (Ankle
Brachial Index).
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is then calculated using
the quotient of the systolic pressure value from the leg
measurement and the systolic pressure value from the arm
measurement.

vascular disease, and places a patient in the high-risk
category.
