Discordant Values in Lower Extremity Physiologic Studies Predict Increased Cardiovascular Risk

Background Ankle‐brachial indexes (ABI) are a noninvasive diagnostic tool for peripheral arterial disease and a marker of increased cardiovascular risk. ABI is calculated using the highest systolic blood pressure of the 4 ankle arteries (bilateral dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial). Accordingly, p...
