ABI Testing Questions and Answers

 

Q: What is the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)? A: The Ankle-Brachial Index is a simple, non-invasive test that uses a blood pressure cuff to measure the blood pressure in the ankle and arm. The ratio of the two readings is used to assess the health of the blood vessels and detect peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Q: How is the ABI test performed? A: The ABI test is performed by taking blood pressure readings in the ankle and arm using a blood pressure cuff. The ratio of the two readings is then calculated to determine the ABI. The test is typically done in a doctor’s office or clinic and takes only a few minutes.

Q: What do the results of an ABI test mean? A: A normal ABI is between 0.9 and 1.3. A score above 1.3 is considered high and may indicate an artery is narrowed or blocked. A score below 0.9 may indicate peripheral artery disease (PAD). The results of the ABI test can help determine the severity of PAD and guide treatment decisions.

Q: Who should get an ABI test? A: People who have symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD), such as leg pain or cramping, may benefit from an ABI test. Additionally, people who are at high risk for PAD, such as smokers or those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, may also be advised to get an ABI test.

Q: Are there any risks associated with the ABI test? A: The ABI test is a non-invasive, low-risk procedure. There is minimal discomfort associated with the test and it does not involve the use of any needles or dyes. However, as with any test, there is a small chance of an inaccurate result or a false positive or false negative.
