Ankle-Arm Blood Pressure Test Predicts Heart Disease Risk “A seldom-used test that measures blood pressure in the ankle and the arm can help improve assessment of the risk of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular problems, an international research group reports. It has a distinct advantage in that it is extremely easy to perform and doesn't require expensive, sophisticated equipment, Gerry Fowkes, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, said of the ankle brachial index (ABI). The device is the subject of a report in the July 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The index is the ratio between the blood pressure measurements in the ankle and the arm.”
