Preliminary study to investigate the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index in young adults

Abstract

A 'normal' ABPI should not be considered a fixed figure (1.00) and that ABPI may be dependant on an individual's blood pressure and possibly other factors. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE. Ankle Brachial Pressure Index is a routine procedure undertaken when assessing the vascular supply to the lower legs. The results summarized in this paper will be useful to clinicians attempting to interpret ABPI results in young people.
