Automated Oscillometric Determination of the Ankleā€“Brachial Index Provides Accuracy Necessary for Office Practice

Abstract Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) remains underdiagnosed by primary care and cardiovascular physicians. The office-based assessment of PAD is limited by the need for specialized equipment and the time required for performance of the ankleā€“brachial index (ABI). We explored whether the accuracy of automated ABI measurement by oscillometry compared favorably with the gold-standard method using … Continue reading Automated Oscillometric Determination of the Ankleā€“Brachial Index Provides Accuracy Necessary for Office Practice
