Peripheral Arterial Disease can be firstly screened by
measuring the blood pressure of ankle and brachial, then calculate the
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI).
If the result of ABI is less than 0.9, it is shown
that the case is relatively high chance of suffering from Peripheral Arterial
Disease. For further details, doctors
can get more information by performing ultrasound scan or angiography on the
affected part.
