Leg Circulation Screen (Ankle Brachial Index)
Get Prompt Ankle Brachial Index Testing Today
What is a Leg Circulation Screen?
It is also called the Ankle-Brachial Index Testing (ABI) and it compares blood pressure in your ankles to your arms. The ABI is derived from the ratio of these pressures, serving as a crucial diagnostic tool. It is also used as Peripheral Artery Disease Testing because it reveals potential blockages in the arteries supplying your legs. This test is essential for early detection and intervention in managing vascular health.

FAQs
What is the Ankle Brachial Index Test?
The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) test is a simple diagnostic procedure that evaluates blood flow and detects peripheral artery disease (PAD).
What is Measured During an ABI Test?
During an ABI test, blood pressure measurements are taken at the ankles and arms to assess the ratio. This provides insight into potential blockages.
What Results will I get from Ankle Brachial Index?
ABI test results indicate the ratio of blood pressure in the ankles to that in the arms, helping identify the presence and severity of peripheral artery disease. A lower ABI suggests potential circulation issues.
How Long does an ABI Measurement Take?
An ABI measurement typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
What is a Normal Ankle Brachial Index Result?
A normal Ankle Brachial Index result falls within the range of 0.90 to 1.30. Results outside this range may signal potential vascular concerns.
