Automated Oscillometric Determination of the Ankle–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 ankle–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 Ankle–Brachial Index Provides Accuracy Necessary for Office Practice
