The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a measurement of the ratio between ankle and arm blood pressure that can indicate peripheral arterial disease and predict future cardiovascular risk and mortality. It has been shown to be an effective diagnostic tool for PAD and major cardiovascular societies recommend measuring ABI in smokers and diabetics over 50 and all patients over 70 as it can identify increased cardiovascular risk beyond traditional risk factors.

Ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a surrogate marker of
atherosclerosis and recent studies indicate its utility as a predictor of future cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is the systolic pressure at the ankle, divided by the systolic pressure at the arm. It has been shown to be a specific and sensitive metric for the diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Additionally, the ABI has been shown to predict mortality and adverse cardiovascular events independent of traditional CV risk factors. The major cardiovascular societies advise measuring an ABI in every smoker over 50 years old, every diabetic over 50, and all patients over 70.
