Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index Measured Using an Automated Oscillometric Method as a Predictor of the Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) measured using a conventional Doppler method is an independent predictor of the number of coronary vessels affected in coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, a new clinical device has been developed to measure ABI using an oscillometric method. It is unclear whe...
