Ankle-Brachial Index Online Journals

The ankle-brachial index test may be a quick, noninvasive thanks to check for peripheral artery disease (PAD). The disease occurs when narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow to your limbs. PAD can cause leg pain when walking and increases the danger of attack and stroke.

The ankle-brachial index test compares the vital sign measured at your ankle with the vital sign measured at your arm. A low ankle-brachial index can indicate narrowing or blockage of the arteries in your legs.

You may have ankle-brachial index testing before and immediately after walking on a treadmill. An exercise ankle-brachial index test can assess the severity of the narrowed arteries during walking.
The ankle-brachial index test is completed to see for PAD — narrowed arteries that reduce blood flow, usually in your legs. Research indicates that PAD affects about 10 percent of people over age 55.

Your doctor might recommend an ankle-brachial index test if you've got leg pain while walking or risk factors for PAD, such as:

History of tobacco use
Diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Restricted blood flow (atherosclerosis) in other parts of your body
