Recommendations
STANDARD TESTING MODALITIES
ABI
Bilateral ABI calculations should be performed, which include bilateral brachial arteries and bilateral ankle pressures. The ABI should take the clinical situation into context to avoid false-negative calculations. The absolute ankle pressures should also be included in conjunction with the ABI calculation. Finally, in heavily calcified arteries, a TBI should be considered.
