Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)

What is an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)?

An Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test is a quick, noninvasive test that compares blood pressure measurements in the ankle and arm to detect narrowed or blocked arteries in the legs, helping diagnose peripheral artery disease before it progresses. By identifying reduced blood flow early, this simple test gives our cardiologists the insight needed to evaluate your risk of heart attack and stroke and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
