Peripheral Arterial Disease

Peripheral Arterial Disease

The ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) test is used to calculate your risk of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The ABPI test compares the blood pressure in your leg with the blood pressure in your arm. PAD is a common circulatory condition in which fatty deposits build up in arteries (atherosclerosis) resulting in reduced blood flow to your leg muscles. Sometimes it is known as peripheral vascular disease.

Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI)

Your ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) result has been given a green flag which means there is no significant difference between the blood pressure in your leg compared to the blood pressure in your arm. The best way to reduce the risk of developing PAD is by exercising regularly and not smoking.

PAD develops slowly over many years and may have no symptoms at all. In some people PAD causes a painful ache in the legs which comes on with exercise, and disappears upon rest (this is called intermittent claudication). PAD is a form of cardiovascular disease and if present, it increases the risk of other cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, angina and stroke.
