Abstract:
The relationship between simultaneous limbs blood pressure differences and Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is controversial. This paper aims to investigate the association of limbs blood pressures differences with ABI as the current non-invasive diagnosis method in clinical primary care. A cross-sectional study was performed to analysis the relationship between them. The results showed that ABI < 0.9 was independently associated with inter-arm (OR, 15.469; CI, (1.776-134.773); P = 0.013) and inter-ankle (OR, 7.189; CI, (1.010-51.179); P = 0.049) when the systolic blood pressure difference >= 15mmHg. Therefore, the simultaneous measurement of four limbs blood pressure differences can provide an aid for the non-invasive detection method of PAD in clinical primary care.
