Abstract

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is widely accepted as a diagnostic test used to evaluate the presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). 1. We investigated the associations between central arterial stiffness evaluated by measurement of aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), augmentation index (Aix) with ABI in individuals with and without peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The study group included 670 subjects mean age 57 ± 16 years (248 PAD (ABI ≤ 0.9) and 422 No-PAD (ABI ≥ 0,91 −1.3). The aPWV, and Aix was estimated using applanation tonometry. 2. The ankle systolic pressure measurements for the calculation of the ABI was obtained using an 8-mHz Doppler probe. After stepwise selection process, in PAD patients aPWV and Aix were not related to ABI.
