“…The American Heart Association (AHA) establishes it with a level of evidence B and class I ( 33 ); likewise, the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) in its latest clinical guide on the diagnosis and treatment of PAD (2019) strongly recommends its use (34) . Studies such as the one by Recarey et al carried out a broad bibliographic search on the subject to find the quality of evidence regarding ABI as a reliable means of diagnosis for PAD and its relationship with its associated risk factors (14,35) . When analyzing 12 studies, it was found that none met the criteria to be considered of high quality of evidence; however, they concluded of the great utility of ABI for the diagnosis of PAD, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus, reinforcing the recommendation to perform it on an outpatient, systematic and routine basis.…”

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the relationship between the systolic blood pressure taken at the ankle level and the brachial artery. A pathological ABI (<0.90 or >1.40) indicates the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Many studies indicate the great utility of this test in the diagnosis of PAD due to its ease of use, reproducibility, low cost, and high cost-effectiveness. This evaluation can be directly correlated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; however, it has recently been confirmed that a low ABI can be a predictor of major cardiovascular events, as it is related to diabetes mellitus, chronic coronary disease, stroke, and more. The objective of this work was to review the current evidence on the importance of ABI in the diagnosis of PAD and its main role as a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
