BetaIf your circulation is healthy, the blood pressure in both parts of your body should be exactly or almost the same. This would make the result of your ABPI 1. However, if you have PAD, the blood pressure in your ankle will be lower because of a reduction in blood supply. This would make the result of the ABPI less than 1.

A low ankle-brachial index number can mean there is narrowing or blockage of the arteries in the legs. Ankle-brachial index testing might be done before and right after walking on a treadmill. This is called an exercise ankle-brachial ...

BetaDuplex ultrasonography: The non-invasive test visualizes the arteries and veins with sound waves and measures blood flow to indicate the presence of a blockage. Computed tomographic (CT) angiography: The non-invasive test uses X-ray and contrast agent (dye) to create pictures of blood vessels in the arteries in your body, such as the abdomen, pelvis and legs.

BetaDoppler tests are useful before surgery. For example, every patient coming in for orthopaedic surgery below the hip should have a Doppler test on their ankle. This is because if you have an operation on the leg and there’s poor blood flow, it may not heal well. A Doppler test on the leg is also recommended before heart bypass surgery.

Poor circulation in the leg can lead to dry skin that cracks. Because small cuts and cracked skin do not receive adequate blood flow to heal properly, bacteria can enter them, causing an infection.
