Toe brachial index and not ankle brachial index is appropriate in initial evaluation of peripheral arterial disease in type 2 diabetes
BackgroundNon-invasive clinic-based tools for assessing PAD are not without limitations. Therefore, costly tests like Doppler study, CT angiography...

Comparison of Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), Toe Brachial Index (TBI), and Trans-Cutaneous Partial Pressure of Oxygen (TcPO2) in Prediction of Limb Outcome Among Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs)
Diabetics develop foot ulcers due to peripheral ischaemia, neuropathy, or nero-ischaemia both. With rising prevalence of peripheral arterial...

Low ankle–brachial index is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Background and aimsAnkle brachial index (ABI) is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, but it is unclear whether ABI is associated with...

Falsely normalized ankle-brachial index despite the presence of lower-extremity peripheral artery disease: two case reports
BackgroundThe ankle-brachial index measurement is used for screening and diagnosis of lower-extremity peripheral artery disease and cardiovascular...

Upstroke time is a more useful marker of atherosclerosis than percentage of mean arterial pressure for detecting coronary artery disease in subjects with a normal ankle-brachial index
Upstroke time (UT) and percentage of mean arterial pressure (%MAP) at the ankle have been shown to serve as atherosclerotic markers. The purpose of...

Cardio-ankle vascular index is more closely associated than brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity with arterial damage and risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes
BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the usefulness of arterial stiffness parameters, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and brachial-ankle pulse...
