Abstract
The ankle-brachial index is valuable for screening for peripheral artery disease in patients at risk and for diagnosing the disease in patients who present with lower-extremity symptoms that suggest it. The ankle-brachial index also predicts the risk of cardiovascular events, cerebrovascular events, and even death from any cause. Few other tests provide as much diagnostic accuracy and prognostic information at such low cost and risk.
摘要
踝臂指数对于筛查有外周动脉疾病风险的患者和诊断下肢症状提示该疾病的患者具有重要价值。踝臂指数还可预测心血管事件、脑血管事件甚至任何原因导致的死亡风险。很少有其他检查能以如此低的成本和风险提供如此高的诊断准确性和预后信息。
