No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several methods are available to measure ankle brachial index (ABI) non-invasively. A recent scientific statement of the AHA considers the Doppler method as the reference. However because Doppler devices are not widely available in primary care, several attempts have been made to propose alternative methods, among whom oscillometric methods (automatic blood pressure machines) have attracted most attention.

We hypothesize that:

\- the diagnostic characteristics (i.e. sensitivity, specificity and AUC) of the oscillometric method would be very good as compared to the Doppler method.

the oscillometric method would have better intra- and inter-observer reproducibilities as compared to the Doppler method.

Conditions

  • Peripheral Arterial Disease, Ankle Brachial Index, Doppler

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measure ankle brachial index (ABI)

This is a head-to-head comparison of 2 methods of determination of the ABI, taking the Doppler method as the standard and the oscillometric device AVP as the challenger
