What is Ankle-Brachial Index Test Overview about?
The ankle-brachial index test measures blood pressure in the ankles and arms at rest and after exercise to diagnose peripheral arterial disease. A lower ankle-brachial index number indicates more severe narrowing of the leg arteries. A normal index is 1.0 to 1.4, while below 0.9 is abnormal and indicates peripheral arterial disease. The test helps evaluate treatments for peripheral arterial disease and screen for risks of heart attack and stroke.
