ABI is a simple, noninvasive test that compares blood pressure at the ankle with blood pressure at the arm. It is commonly used to check for reduced blood flow to the legs, most often from peripheral artery disease (PAD). ABI is measured in outpatient vascular labs, cardiology clinics, primary care settings, and hospitals. It helps clinicians interpret leg symptoms and estimate vascular risk in a standardized way.
