Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
At Saxena Multispeciality Hospital, we utilize the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) as a definitive, non-invasive diagnostic tool to screen for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). By comparing the blood pressure measured at your ankles with the blood pressure in your arms, our clinicians can precisely identify arterial narrowing or blockages that restrict vital circulation to your limbs.
This assessment is a critical component of our vascular health program, particularly for patients managing diabetes, hypertension, or a history of smoking. Since PAD often develops silently, this quick and painless procedure is vital for early detection, enabling our team to intervene before symptoms progress to chronic pain, non-healing ulcers, or more severe complications.
