Abstract:Introduction: Repeated measurements of ankle-brachial index (ABI) using Doppler method were shown to be accurate during atrial fibrillation. Oscillometric devices are effective in ABI measurement, but their accuracy during atrial fibrillation is unknown. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether atrial fibrillation influences ABI obtained with the automatic oscillometric method. Material and methods: Ninety-nine patients with atrial fibrillation (mean age: 66.6 +(SD = 11) years, M/F − 63/36) who unde… Show more
