  • Title: Relation of decreased ankle-brachial index to prevalence of atherosclerotic risk factors, coronary artery disease, aortic valve calcium, and mitral annular calcium.
    Author: Park H, Das M, Aronow WS, McClung JA, Belkin RN.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2005 Apr 15; 95(8):1005-6. PubMed ID: 15820178.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery disease was present in 89 of 118 patients (75%) with a decreased ankle-brachial index (ABI) and in 34 of 118 age- and gender-matched patients (29%) with a normal ABI (p <0.001). Aortic valve calcium or mitral annular calcium was present in 81 of 118 patients (69%) with a decreased ABI and in 43 of 118 patients (36%) with a normal ABI (p <0.001).
