Peripheral Vascular Disease

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is one of the most useful tests to assess lower extremity arterial perfusion. The test screens for peripheral vascular disease and helps define its severity.

Service for ankle-brachial index testing is provided by the Cardiopulmonary Stress Testing Laboratory (CPX), one of five service groups of the Cardiac Diagnostic Unit at Duke University Medical Center, which provides service to more than 25,000 patients each year.
